But by knowing the example of the Buddha, they will develop the intention. They will then want to learn the Dharma. This is the second step. It is very important to learn from someone who knows the Dharma. Then you can receive the teachings in detail.
Teachings are like the road directions to get somewhere.
It is like when you want to go to San Francisco, you need directions so you study the map. An experienced person can show you how to get there. It is the same with the Dharma. A qualified instructor is someone who can teach you and show you the directions. He knows the Dharma or the way.
