Anatta: Empty of Self or Belonging to Self, even Thoughts | Emptiness Sunyata | Ajahn Dhammasiha


Listen Later

Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Dhammasīha, offering reflections on the Buddha's teaching:

"Suññam idaṃ attena vā attanīyena vā!"

= "Empty of Self and Empty of Anything belonging to Self"


  • e.g. Majjhima Nikāya/Middle Length Discourses #106, 'Āneñjasappāya Sutta'/'Conducive for the Imperturbable'
  • Also Majjhima Nikāya/Middle Length Discourses #22, 'Alagaddūpama Sutta'/'The Simileof the Snake'


When we contemplate our body, thoughts, feelings, emotions, even our meditation object, as not Self and not belonging to any Self, suddenly everything becomes so much lighter, so much less difficult and painful, so much more bearable.
