Question
I heard and read from some so-called meditation teachers that they use the term "Buddha-Dharma" or "Buddha-Dhamma" in a way that it seems to me that they mean that the Dhamma belongs to the Buddha. Is this correct and true or beneficial? Is it right to say that the Buddha realized or discovered the Dhamma or the Truth out of himself without a teacher teaching it and that this Dhamma or Truth is impersonal? Are even the teachings impersonal?
