The Dharma Is Beyond Our Expectations
and our wildest dreams.
The Dharma is blown out of proportion
into something spectacular
… and unattainable.
That keeps us in a state of poverty. We hear fantastic stories from the past, but none of these things happen now. It’s all ‘smoke and mirrors’: intended to make us believe that something is true, when it is not.
‘Deepfake’ does the same thing today. Deep fakes are a form of artificial intelligence — a compilation of doctored images and sounds put together with machine-learning algorithms. Deepfake technology manipulates media by creating people who don’t exist, or by making it appear that real people are saying and doing things they didn’t say or do.
Deepfake has been brought out into the public arena: we can’t even imagine what’s going on behind the curtains …
The world is in a terrible state.
There is no help coming over the horizon, save what we do to help ourselves.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. In this way, Dzogchen is practical - no bells and whistles required. 
To create such things as the technology in this video, that someday will deceive even the creator of this deception, is how ignorant human beings can be with their intelligence!
To believe that you cannot be fooled, is to already be fooled by yourself.
Humans are intelligent enough to create the most destructive weapons and technologies, yet lack the decency, empathy and responsibility to apply their innate wisdom, moral & ethical guidance to not create them. That which is done cannot be undone. That which is seen cannot be unseen. That which is heard cannot be un-heard. That which is created cannot be un-created. Be careful what you cast out into the world, for it may come back to haunt you.
We don’t need AI (Artificial Intelligence) to be created by unwise, unethical and immoral real intelligent human beings. What we need are real intelligent human beings to become wise, ethical and moral and say no to artificial intelligence. But I think its too late for that.
We live in a time where humanity has the capacity to be not just harmed, but completely obliterated by the ignorant use of its immense intelligence.
Someday, the human automatons who create artificial intelligence and automatized robots will themselves be replaced by them, and they won’t even see it coming. To create such things seems to be itself anti-human, or inhumane, to be against ones own self, ones own kin, which is a symptom of insanity.
But it was created with good intentions, right?
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”
“Kindly let me help you or you’ll drown,” said the monkey as he put the fish safely up in a tree!
The Root of All Evil
Is money the root of all evil?
Is the love of money the root?
For what is the root of money?
What dollar thought to steal?
What gun thought to kill?
What drug thought to addict?
Who’s the one swallowing the pill?
Who’s the one behind the trigger?
Who’s the one getting paid to sell?
Who’s the one doing the buying?
Who’s the one doing the dying?
Who’s the one doing the thinking?
Verse 31
Weapons are the tools of violence;
all decent men detest them.
Weapons are the tools of fear;
a decent man will avoid them
except in the direst necessity
and, if compelled, will use them
only with the utmost restraint.
Peace is his highest value.
If the peace has been shattered,
how can he be content?
His enemies are not demons,
but human beings like himself.
He doesn’t wish them personal harm.
Nor does he rejoice in victory.
How could he rejoice in victory
and delight in the slaughter of men?
He enters a battle gravely,
with sorrow and with great compassion,
as if he were attending a funeral.
