Nothing Else
When we hear about enlightenment/pure consciousness, we are being enlightened about our true nature. We are being made aware of the potential of our true nature.
The next stage is to practise without distraction to become aware of our true reality beyond thought. We become further enlightened when the experience of insight releases us from our acquired ideas.
Small liberations occur as we remember whatwe are. The more we are aware, the more the moments between forgetting shorten.
Complete enlightenment is non-stop, undistracted awareness
suffused with compassionate empathy for others.
We realise we are satisfied,
and life has become fruitful.
The I cannot be enlightened.
There is only remembering, recognising, realising –
and nothing else.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD. Practical everyday insight into Dzogchen Buddhism. It's not about feeling good about yourself; it's about feeling good about your self. Your self is your karma and teacher.
