Is The Universe A Good Place?
Our answer to this question will depend on how we see life. Is the universe is one of benevolence, malevolence or confusion? It’s all in the mind 🙂
Once we stop thinking that we don’t know and realise that we do know, then there is no more confusion or hostility towards others – and no more surprises.
Whether we see the universe as pleasant or unpleasant,
it is the seeing which is the goal.
This is the ultimate truth we seek;
pure seeing is the clarity which is divine splendour.
It is that which we misunderstand.
In the moment of just seeing, there are no complaints.
This behaviour starts the elimination of all karma,
and the path that leads to enlightenment.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
“Here vigour failed the lofty fantasy:
But now was turning my desire and will,
Even as a wheel that equally is moved,
The Love which moves the sun and the other stars.”
~ Dante, Paradiso
