The Outcome of ‘Knowing’ Is Compassion
It doesn’t matter how much we think we know,
if compassion isn’t present,
we are no more than clever, tinkling bells.
Teachings are given so that we become a light for others,
passing on the light rather than our light.
Light is not to dazzle but to illuminate,
so that others may pass on the light.
The light of love is what we are.
There’s no getting away from 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. 
The Light of Love is What We Are.
There is no getting away from it.
