The Saddest Thing
The saddest thing is speaking to people about reality
and they haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.
Halfway through a sentence, there’s just a blank stare;
they’ve switched off 🙂
This is an indication of the state of the world.
Even sadder … they think they know.
To know is to have knowledge.
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. 
One reason, I don’t talk about anything much to anyone…turning into a recluse, even at the risk of escaping the reality of this world. I am not wise enough to witness ‘everything’ without being affected by it, yet…
Until enlightenment we will be affected … it’s what spurs us on. Thank goodness!
