Buddhism Is a Discourse
Buddhism is a discourse – or should be.
Words are a generalisation. Perfecting understanding is a one-to-one affair, either with another person, or with the words.
It isn’t about hearing a talk and thinking that we know, and then repeat. Many teachers fall into the trap of repeating teaching without making it practical, lacking interest or empathy for the background of the students.
Understanding arrives by tasting, digesting, experiencing and realising through the practice of simply being aware. The result is empathetic understanding.
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.
