WE MAKE UP OUR MINDS
We Make Up Our Minds Made up: invented, not true. Once we make up our mind, we fixate on it,and then everything that we encounter is based (biased) on that view. Most of us have our minds made up for us.Meditation … Continue reading
WALKING IN OTHERS’ DREAMS
Walking In Others’ Dreams We have enough problems living in our dreams, let alone living in others’ dreams 🙂 We believe others are the enemy and they believe we are; it’s all a manipulation of concepts/dreams. Some of us have … Continue reading
IT IS FIXATION THAT CAUSES SUFFERING
It Is Fixation That Causes Suffering When we are fixated, we fear change, and that causes us suffering. If we’ve invested our entire existence on a one-sided view, we are reluctant to give it up, or even to see that … Continue reading
FIXATION DIVIDES PEOPLE
Fixation Divides People Religion divides people. Politics divides people. Thinking divides people. Self divides people. So what unites people? Unity is what we are – when we let go of our fixations. The mind cannot unite people as we all … Continue reading

TURNING A BLIND EYE
Turning A Blind Eye Ignoring what is actually happening. Turning a blind eye* refers to the act of ignoring or failing to acknowledge something we know is true, or could be true. In pretending not to notice what is happening, we will not have to … Continue reading
ADDICTION CONSUMES US
Addiction Consumes Us When we are addicted to an idea – our truth – we see nothing else. We can be addicted to anything – political ideas, spiritual teachings, social affairs – and see nothing else. Addiction is being fixated … Continue reading
CHANGE: BECOMING DIFFERENT
Change: Becoming Different Change occurs through the realisation that we’re not what we think – and we’re not what others think of us either. As long as we fixate about ourselves, we will never change. People enter the Dharma and … Continue reading
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.
