This is the second talk in a series on Not Self. The Buddha taught that what we call “self” is a process: a process happening in the body, a collection of feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness, all arising and passing away. The moment we think “I am this,” or “I know that,” we create separation. We draw a line between self and world, subject and object. But if we drop our opinions — about who we are, what others are, what should or shouldn’t be — what remains? Just this, right? Just breathing. Just sound. Just seeing.
