My yoga instructor once asked us how to describe sugar taste to one who has never tasted it.
The technical correct answer is get the person to taste it himself.
I couldn't figure out the answer at first. But to taste for oneself makes sense.
Similarly (and maybe sad to say) the case for Buddhism.
You need to understand and practice the Dharma before you can reap the benefits and truly understand how it can benefit you. Plain sharing by fellow buddhists will not fully allow you to grasp the value and beauty of applying the Dharma in your life.
Just as I can say meditation brings me peace, a non practitioner will find it hard to comprehend.
Dharma must be practiced to have a real taste of it's benefits!
What does Dharma practice taste like to you?
