It Ain't Personal

If suffering is the illness, the Buddha's diagnosis is sobering: the disease is incurable. Anguish is an inherent part of the relative world in which we live. So he proposed a radical solution. If we can't get rid of the disease, let's get rid of the patient. If there is no one to suffer, there is no suffering. Brilliant! But hardly the answer we were looking for. We shy away from the topic. Meanwhile, many of the difficulties we face as a species are rooted in a hyper-developed sense of self.

Excellent, thank you for helping me better understand not-self .

I enjoyed the talk. But could not hear many of the audience comments- but maybe hearing them wasn’t necessary

Resonated beautifully. Thank you!
