Dharma Draughtsman Or Doodler?

Draughtsman: creating precise and accurate drawings, adjusting and revising based on feedback or changes, and ensuring the consistency and accuracy of technical drawings and documentation.

Doodle: to draw or scribble idly, to waste time in aimless or foolish activity. ‘Doodle’ first appeared in the 17th century to mean a fool or simpleton, perhaps from the German ‘dudeltopf’ or ‘dudeldop’, meaning simpleton. It’s the origin of the early eighteenth-century verb ‘to doodle’, meaning to swindle or to make a fool of.

To authenticate anything, it is we who have to decide if something is accurate or not. Therefore, it is we who give the authority to someone, rather than accepting others’ say-so.

This bring us back to the different traditions and levels of understanding of Tibetan Buddhism, where we have to know at what level someone is speaking.

Sometimes, a Dzogchen teacher may refer to a psychological state of mind that comes from a Theravadan tradition, because the students are becoming too cerebral.

A well-draughted teaching may hit the spot,
but a doodle of confusion may also hit the spot.

In crazy wisdom, only you can know.
