DOUBT, FEAR, AGGRESSION, PRIDE = INSTABILITY = DOUBT…
Doubt, Fear, Aggression, Pride = Instability = Doubt … It’s all very subtle. We live in a vicious cycle of existence but don’t know it, because we don’t want to know. We prefer to believe in others’ doubts, fears, aggression, … Continue reading
ENLIGHTENMENT: WAITING TO BE RECOGNISED
Enlightenment: Waiting To Be Recognised The very essence of consciousness is enlightened. It is unsullied emptiness, and all we have to do is recognise this without any distraction … forever. So why aren’t we all enlightened? Put simply, we like distractions, … Continue reading
TURNING PRIDE INTO WISDOM
Turning Pride Into Wisdom Pride is the wisdom of equality. In the very first moment of recognition, each negative emotion has a quality of wisdom. This needs to be experienced through practice. Recognition comes from equanimity; a trained, clear mind … Continue reading
SELF-CONSCIOUS
Self-Conscious Self-conscious: Uncomfortable, embarrassed, or worried about what people think about us. Being self-conscious inhibits our potential to evolve and our ability to empathise, because it’s ‘all about me’. Despite appearing to be confident, we actually lack confidence, but it’s still all about me, self, … Continue reading

OUR PROBLEM IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CONSCIOUSNESS

FEELING SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR
Feeling Superior Or Inferior There are those whom we think are superior; we will one day realise what they realise. There are those whom we think are inferior; they will one day realise what we realise. It is only a … Continue reading

OVER-CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE OR A LACK OF CONFIDENCE
Over-Confidence, Confidence or a Lack of Confidence Another touchy subject! Separation <—connection—> separation. “Not too tight and not too loose.” When we appear over-confident, others want to bring us down. When others appear over-confident, we want to bring them down. … Continue reading

PRIDE
Pride. Pride is a two-edged sword. Ordinary pride is a feeling of being better than others. The funny thing is, everyone feels the same way! Whatever we achieve, so can others. It’s just a matter of time. … 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
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.
