The Relief Of Not Being Special
We are all taught to be ‘somebody’, to be something special, to succeed, to win, to better ourselves … to be better than others? This makes life miserable, and we suffer – as do all those around us – by becoming over-excited about our self. Who are we trying to impress in this theatrical-rat-race?
All beings can choose,
as they have an enlightened essenc
inside an illusory identity.
We can lead a life of simplicity,
where we can be what we originally are
– the spontaneous moment, free of anything written down.
PS It’s not easy getting rid of the script.
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. 
So what’s the purpose of life? If you are here there is nothing to do just live as you are without making yourself better than yesterday.. financially physically internally.and you cannot send an email without Internet so we have to pay Bills for that we have to work hard so we can have a good living….what do you think about this?

We make decisions and live with the consequence. Where would we be without consciousness?
Knowing what we are does not mean we cannot function as decent human beings.
