The Dharma Isn’t From A Foreign Land
If we think that the Dharma – the realisation of reality – is something from the past, or belongs in a foreign land with foreign words, we are clinging to cultural ideas.
Our reality is right here, right now. It is the essence of our mind – pure consciousness. This is not something to believe in; we can realise this for ourselves, through silent awareness.
If we think the Dharma is from afar,
we have been institutionalised into narrow-mindedness.
We are walking, talking Dharma of direct appreciation of the glorious, spontaneous moment now. Through realisation of our reality, everyday fixations and limitations seem sillier and sillier.
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.
