What Is Our Path To Enlightenment?
It is anything that cuts through our confusion,
revealing clarity in the moment
…and not adding to our doubts.
Genuine teacher, genuine words
clarify our doubts,
opening up our path to inner peace.
Genuine teacher, genuine words
reveal what we already know,
and are a constant reminder.
We realise
that our confusion never existed:
we have been clarity all along.
Clarity of now is the genuine teacher.
Once we acknowledge our path,
enlightenment is already in view.
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 SPONTANEOUS VAJRA MANIFESTATION
OF AWARENESS AND EMPTINESS
“…To elaborate or to examine is nothing but adding concepts.
To make effort or to cultivate is only to exhaust oneself.
To focus or to meditate is but a trap of further entanglement.
May these painful fabrications be cut within!
Being beyond thoughts or description, not a thing is seen.
There is, however, nothing extra remaining to be seen.
That is the profound meaning of resolving one’s mind.
May this nature, hard to illustrate, be realised!”…
