Mindfulness Insight Meditation - Buddhist Teachings

208: Life Continuum (Bhavanga)


Listen Later

This episode explores the Buddhist concept of bhavaṅga, or the “life continuum” — the stream of consciousness that connects one moment to the next, and even one life to another. It explains how our unique personalities at birth may arise from past lives, carried through this subtle flow of awareness.

We also look at how consciousness operates between wakefulness and deep sleep, and how every perception — seeing, hearing, thinking — unfolds through a rapid series of thought moments. Using the vivid “falling mango” analogy, we uncover how these moments shape our experiences and generate karma. Tune in to understand how the mind’s hidden processes influence who we are and the path our lives take.
