Why Do We Shy Away From Simplicity?
Why do we shy away from simplicity?
Do we think that the more complex the Dharma, the better it is?
The completion stage – the end of any practice – is resting in emptiness, which is uncontaminated awareness. We could just start there: nothing is simpler.
All practices come down to dedicating realisation for the benefit of all sentient beings. This is the ability to empathise with the suffering of others whose lives are complex. š
The purpose of life is to realise what life is,
and to have genuine compassion for all who have not realised this.
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.
