MEDITATION IS LIKE WATCHING A FILM
Meditation is like watching a film. For a film to be projected it needs,a film, light and a screen. The light is our essence.The film is the projection of our karma, our storehouse of reactions.The screen is the phenomenal worldonto … Continue reading
STOP MEDITATING!
Stop meditating! I often find I am meditating when I stop meditating. It is said that people are not enlightened because they do not meditate. And Siddhis are not enlightened because they do meditate. Simply put we need to meditate … Continue reading

MEDITATION-SO WHAT?!
Meditation – so what?! Meditation is not the most important thing: liberation is. It is not enough to be able to concentrate and be still, while remaining deluded. Deluded means being still caught up in the vicious cycle of seeking … Continue reading
CHOOSING THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS OVER ‘BEING’
Choosing thoughts and emotions over ‘being’? Here we are, potentially enlightened beings, and all we do is remain trapped in our thoughts and emotions, which merely creates suffering for ourselves and others! Spirituality is about liberation – freedom from these … Continue reading
MEDITATION WITHOUT FREEDOM
Meditation without Freedom. We may be great meditators, but still not be free. I spent years meditating and not recognising my true nature: my present teacher suggested I had spent twenty five years in idiot meditation! This, as you can … Continue reading
MUDDY WATERS
MUDDY WATERS The mud is obscurations. The water, our essence. Muddy water clears with meditation. Addiction to looking stirs the mud again. By looking, recognising and dropping, essence is revealed. Realising there never was any mud, there is nothing to … 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.
