Our Enemy Shows Us Our Strength …
Our enemy shows us our strength …
… and where we are weak.
Therefore through our karmic reactions,
our enemy is our teacher.
Who are the enemy?
Our own likes, dislikes, and indifference.
As pure consciousness matures,
the subtler the enemy becomes,
until we realise that the enemy has never existed.
Subtle: Middle English – ‘not easily understood’
Our strength is compassion.
Our weakness is lack of compassion.
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.
