Wearing Our Self Out
Our self is like an old coat that we hold on to tightly.
‘We’ is consciousness.
Through meditation, consciousness becomes tired of self
(its habitual pattern of behaviour) and drops this old coat.
Pure consciousness is naked awareness, without ideas or concepts stitched to it.
Until full enlightenment, we will have remnants attached.
Those remnants become our teacher. 😀
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.
