The Dharma Has To Be Hard Hitting

If the Dharma isn’t hard hitting, it won’t directly cut through our fixations, revealing the ultimate truth of our reality. Watering-down dilutes the Dharma into pleasing speculation, and weakens original experience.

Watered-down Dharma is second-hand words. When we realise the real Dharma, it is first-hand, coming from the original source of spontaneous presence – direct seeing – pure consciousness. 

Influencers assume authority on their platform,
and enjoy a ‘rich’ life.

Insignificant people experience the rawness of life, 
and can realise the ultimate truth.

The Buddha gave up his rich life and became a mendicant – a bodger – someone who accepts whatever is available, such as dissatisfaction or suffering. Everything that comes our way is significant – karmic – serendipitous – spontaneous. 

Dharma isn’t about something learnt and acquired.
It’s hard hitting because it destroys the pride in ego-clinging.
