Words Are Only An Account Of The Truth
Words are only an account of the truth
and not the truth itself.
Words are a reflection,
whereas the mirror is direct perception.
The understanding of words may differ;
that is why there are many traditions.
If the Buddha said, “Do not take my word for the truth; test it for yourself,” he realised that, in
clinging to words, experience will be distant rather than direct.
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.
