Exaggerating The Guru
We, as humans, exaggerate everything.
The guru/teacher is merely a conduit for words,
which are symbols with meaning.
We decipher the meaning through experience
and realise that knowing needs no exaggeration.
We do not take someone’s word for the truth.
In exaggerating the guru, we are relating
and, as such, this is a duality.
In this way, we easily miss the whole point.
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.
