The Truth Is Not Out There!
“If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him”
Enlightenment is not some else’s enlightenment:
it is our own enlightenment.
Kill the imagery, and realise.
Once we find the teaching,
understand it, experience it, realise it, drop it, be it,
while recognising all the impediments that divert us.
If viewed correctly, the impediments are wisdoms,
as they instantaneously remind us of just being.
Impediments and wisdom are therefore inseparable.
The impediments that divert us are just
aberrations and abnormalities;
mental dis-orders within emptiness,
our enlightened nature.
Mental dis-order is what sentient beings are,
while at the same time
having the potential of enlightenment.
Being upset is part of the process.
No pills required.
Trying to fit into a mentally dis-ordered world,
requires a lot of pills to dumb us down.
The Truth Is Not Out There.
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. 
“Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man .”
“He who dares not offend cannot be honest,”
“Reputation is what men & women think of us ; character is what God and angels know of us.”
“I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.”
