Happiness Is A Result
Realisation comes first, then happiness.
Solve a problem; happiness dawns.
There will always be social problems.
If there are always problems, there will always be realisation.
Problems are impermanent; realisation is always happiness.
“May my mind turn towards the Teachings.
May the Teachings become the path.
May the path clarify confusion.
May confusion dawn as wisdom.”
– Gampopa
(1079–1153 CE)
If we think that we have to be happy first, we will never realise the problem.
We have some work to do:
examine conscience to determine what is and isn’t beneficial.
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.
