Life is Meaningful
Spiritual practice is meaningful.
Everything we do is meaningful.
Being relaxed is meaningful.
When we are relaxed we appreciate
the ‘life’ within life!
That is why life is precious.
Life is not meaningless;
producing karma and reducing karma both have an effect.
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. 
Hello Tony
I’d like to know more about your thoughts with regard to the meaning of “meaningful”! Seriously – it seems a modern day curse that people are desperately running around trying to find ‘meaning’ in their lives.

Hello Daisymae,
It seems that people find their lives so meaningless that they are desperately trying to invent a meaning. “Meaningful” is anything that leads us to understanding our true nature.
When we die it will bring great contentment to know life has been fruitful – that we understood why things happen and why our minds reacted.
Even if we have stopped chasing our tails -life will be meaningful. The curse is people running around trying to find “where it’s at” when they are where it’s at all the time.

Oh, tell me about it! The first 50 years of my life were all about trying to find “where it’s at”!! It’s such a relief that all that headless chicken behaviour has just dropped away…thank god for the menopause š Isn’t it the saddest thing that the more we search desperately for meaning in our lives, the more elusive meaning becomes…D
