Know The Self, Let Go Of The Self -2

The Buddha neither affirmed nor denied the existence of a self. He did talk about the process by which the mind creates many senses of self—what he called “I-making” and “my-making.”
The focus was on the karma of selfing. Because clinging, holding on, lies at the heart of our suffering, and because there’s clinging to my views, my perceptions, my opinions; he advised us to use the perception of not-self as a strategy to dismantle that clinging.

A little more confusing

Thank you for this thoughtful talk 🌟

i loved this talk. victim mentality is the part of me that sneaks up. using the chair analogy i’d think, how can this person not know this is my seat? why didn’t anyone else speak up and say that’s alice’s seat? 🙃🙃🙃

I enjoyed this 💜
