Giving Up The Ghost
A ‘ghost’ is a slight trace of something, a faint secondary image caused by a fault in an optical system – in our case, the mind behind the eyes. 😀
The ghost in the mind is our self-image that consciousness holds on to for a feeling of existence.
To the ghost, it is everything.
To the realised, this ghost/self is a faint secondary image.
How do we get from being a ghost to being realised?
A suspicion that all is not what it seems.

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.
