The Secret of Joy
Where is the joy?
It’s in the acceptance and understanding
of whatever the moment presents.
The moment now may not present joy
but there is still joy
in the acceptance and understanding
of whatever the moment presents.
It’s not really a secret, is it?

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. 
Goodmorning Tony et all. Lots of echo here with your latest blog posts. Here my sunday morning ramblings š
For example, on the acceptance and understanding of whatever the moment presents. Indeed, infinite, undivided (welcoming) space is needed: to get the whole picture, but also to experience joy.
The universal man, carrying the universe within. The meaning of the compassionate heart as big as the world. Everthing and everyone is welcome, nothing and nobody excluded. Indeed there is joy
in the acceptance and understanding of whatever the moment presents.
A dualistic mind – this yes, that no – doesn’t help to see and accept reality, in all it’s aspects, both good and bad. If we exclude or censor aspects of the raw, unconditional experience, we are blurring the situation, adding our own illusions into the mix.
…WoW!
Thanks for that Marcel.
