Respecting Our Lineage
If we have a karmic connection with the Dharma or any spiritual tradition, meaning that we have an attraction to understanding relative truth and absolute truth (ultimate reality), then we have engaged in this process before!!!
This means you have your own lineage: our previous lives are your own ancestors. These ancestors would have had associations with other like-minded people, so that group may also have had a lineage.
We know that traditions are a lineage, and that lamas have lineages…and so have you.
Be true to your ancestors!
You never know who you were.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
What an interesting way to look at things – so positive! I like it very much!
As westerners, we tend to be so apologetic, and feel we are unworthy (or is that just me? 😉 ) and actually, I doubt that will get us anywhere…
