The NoSelf Teaching Buddhism
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=uCldjIVqxAU
You say 'I am', but what does the word 'I' refer to? According to the Buddhist teaching of no-self, to answer this question correctly is to reach liberation. It is to reach the end of all unhappiness. • Here we explore the Buddha's teaching of the 5 aggregates (skandhas or khandhas). This teaching is variously called anatman, anatta, no-self, nonself, etc. • The essence of the teaching is that liberation (moksha) and enlightenment (nirvana) come about when one realizes that every model of the self we can have is a wrong model. When one lets go of grasping, of falsely identifying oneself with the contents of experience - only then can one put an end to suffering (dukkha) once and for all. • #philosophy #wisdom #buddhism #existential • β Support this channel: / seeker2seeker • π°PayPal Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted... • π¨ Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/a693c2c7c985/wisdo... • βββββββββββββ • π Recommended Reading • βΆ A Companion to Buddhist Philosophy (Steven M.
