“Turning the Dharma mirror outward” refers to imposing expectations and requirements on others to follow the teachings.
[A Word of Chan]
“Turning the Dharma mirror outward” refers to imposing expectations and requirements on others to follow the teachings. Once they fail to accord with the teachings as we want, we get angry. This is a mistake a Buddhist may make when they are preoccupied with reforming others rather than transforming their own body and mind.
