Still Think You Can Change The World?
Even a Buddha can’t do that. Wanting to change the world is futile diligence. What are you going to put in its place? People will continue to blame and complain, because they don’t know what they truly are.
The world is run by Mara, which wants us to blame and complain as it initiates all the problems born from our ignorance. We are Mara’s children, reacting to everything and creating even more to grumble about.
We can only change the illusion of our self that we are taught to believe in. Change comes from recognition and realisation of our true nature; when we stop reacting, we grow up.
We are original pure consciousness,Ā
which Mara cannot touch.
Realising this, we are always alert and aware,Ā
recognising Mara at work.Ā
In this way, Mara becomes our teacher. š
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.
