Buddhas In The Mud

We are all Buddhas, but we are stuck in the mud of concepts – words that muddy perception and obscure the enlightened essence within. This essence isn’t something supernatural as we are led to believe; it is simply natural pure awareness, pure consciousness, pure perception, without the usual commentaries.

Essence isn’t something we learn. It’s what we personally uncover – it’s what we are. Our only problem is that we keep forgetting by being distracted, and organised religions don’t help. In fact, they add to the confusion.

If we focus on others’ interpretations/words about this reality, a form is created, and we then find that we’re following the form/religion instead of realising an open mind of enlightenment.

Actual enlightenment
is constant realisation without distraction.

We are what we are searching for.

Someone said, “Seek, and you will find.”
Once we find, we can stop looking, and just see
… and then drop any claiming.
