What Is It That's Grasping?

In this Dharma talk, we explore the question: What is it that’s grasping? In Buddhism, grasping is seen as the immediate cause of suffering. But beneath the grasping lies a deeper root cause: the belief in a solid, independent self for whose sake all the grasping is done. This mistaken identity is what we have taken ourselves to be—fueling our suffering and obscuring the truth of who we really are.
