Identity | 2020
Ajahn Brahmali explores the theme of identity, both in everyday life and in the context of Buddhist wisdom. The talk is sparked by his own experience of recently becoming an Australian citizen, which led him to reflect on what identity really means.
According to the Buddha, identity is a mental fabrication based on attaching to the five khandas or aspects of experience (body, feeling, perception, will, consciousness). The buddha taught that these aspects are all impermanent, out of control, and therefore not a self.
