Buddha Dharma Part Thirteen - Sense Of Self

In Buddhism, one of the most difficult teachings for people to understand is anatman or non-self. The doctrine states that in humans there is no permanent entity that can be called a self or a soul. This denial of “any Soul or Self” is what distinguishes Buddhism from other major religions, and gives Buddhism its uniqueness. This sense of being a permanent, solid, autonomous self is an illusion. The problem is this illusion is so ingrained into our ordinary experience.

Brilliantly explained!
Thank you so much 🙏
I need to listen again and keep reminding myself of this liberating truth 💫

I enjoyed this talk very much! It has given Mr lots to think about and I will be listening to it again and again. Thank you

For me, definitely the hardest part to grasp, understand or feel: the fact that we are impermanent experiences constantly in change and that there is no true Self. Perhaps understanding will come one day. Namaste 🤓🙏🏻

A good explanation of the concept, although the actual concept is quite a difficult one to grasp. This is another one where I am going to have to think about.

To answer my question earlier , I found out you got the title Lama from a well respected and accomplished Buddhist master .
I presume he or the Kadgupa tradition gave you the qualification of Yeshi. Which is also well respected , and brings trust to listen and practice what you are teaching . Thank you . Maybe you are not allowed to explain with your teachers names on insights timer ? But if you are , I think it's definitely worth mentioning your qualifications and the teachers you got them from . As it is a definite earned respect . Not just a title , it shows you have worked and practiced a lot to earn your titles .
I also took the basic vows from Tai Situ Rinpiche in 1995-6 and have a lot of respect for him and the lineage to the Buddha himself .
Then I studied under Panchn Otrul Rinpiche , in Ireland for 17 years.
I'm wanting to bring this way of life back into my life , after health problems.
I read this on your link at bottom of your insight timer page .
Yeshe took ordination vows from H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche in Sherabling Monastery, Northern India and has studied with H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama, H.H. The 17th Karmapa, and other Buddhist masters from various traditions
