The Real Dharma Has No Frilly Bits

Keeping the Dharma real is dealing with life in its raw state, and not as it was in the past. The world is very different from 2,500 years ago, although our problems are just the same; we ignore our true reality in favour of personal likes and dislikes which feed our stupidity, and all the while we grow old, become sick, and die.

Each generation has to face a new distortion of the truth. Facing this distortion is the real Dharma at work. This distortion is merely an illusion that keeps us bound to contrived, fashionable ideas.

The moment we recognise our attachment to thrills and frills, we are free… just for a moment. Through the practice of meditation, this moment extends.

Religions has frilly bits for people to identify with so that the show goes on, but in non-dual awareness – pure awareness – there is no show, and that is such a relief.
The madness has gone. 🙂
