Letting Go Of The Past
If we hang on to the past, nothing fresh will occur, and we will never break out of our karmic bubble. Bubbles can easily be burst, so we steer clear of anything that might seem to threaten it.
Unfortunately, when people huddle together for safety, they become a froth blown around by a collective karmic wind.
Spiritual consciousness is all about now.
Religion is all about the past.
The moment when we let go of the past,
karma drops away, and we see with insight.
Froth: a mass of small bubbles; impure matter that rises to the surface of liquid.
Frothy: light and entertaining, but of little substance.
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.
