The more we can start to see, oh, it's not that personal. This is what it's like to be a person. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, gain and loss.
Have you ever wondered about the true nature of self and identity? In this episode, Noah Levine, the founder of Against the Stream, invites listeners to his long-standing Monday night meditation class. For nearly 18 years, this class has been a cornerstone for those seeking deeper understanding through Buddhist teachings. Here, Noah dives into the concept of anatta, or the impersonal nature of things, challenging us to rethink who we are and who we are not.
He explores how our experiences are interconnected and how the self is ever-changing and impermanent. By shifting away from a self-centred view, Noah suggests we can cultivate more compassion and less attachment in our lives. This isn't just theoretical; he also discusses how these teachings can practically reduce personal suffering and enhance our responses to the world around us.
The episode wraps up with a thought-provoking question about agency and liberation, encouraging listeners to reflect on these ideas in their own time. Perfect for anyone curious about Buddhist philosophy or looking to deepen their mindfulness practice, this episode offers valuable insights and practical wisdom.
