Planet Of The Mind Snatchers
From birth, our mind is taken away, and replaced with a system. These systems are to help us fit into this world but, if we don’t know our true mind, we become a prisoner to a system. Be it political, religious, educational or entertainment, it’s all toys in the recreational yard! And all we do is walk round in circles.
To an inmate, this sounds ridiculous as the yard is everything to them but, to a practitioner of the mind, freedom from attachment to all those toys is of paramount importance.
Toy: a miniature replicate. The word originally denoted a funny story or remark, later an antic or trick, or a frivolous entertainment.
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.
