[@dublinphotoart]

The mind doesn't rely on the body for its existence. The human body is impermanent and cannot be anything else that is the whole point of the Buddhist path.

non self is the way

Anatta, (the non-existence of a Self) is one of the "Fundamental insights of the Buddha"? Utter Rubbish, in respect of how you contextualize this.The teaching of "Anatman", -Anatta in other words, had been taught in India for thousands of years, prior to Gotama's realization of the Atman, i.e, his attainment of Nibbana or the Imperishable State or Nature; or (equally) in 'Yogic terms', the "Akshara Purusha", the Immutable (i.e, the "Akshara") Self (i.e., the Purusha). Gotama "taught nothing new" and He very clearly stated this fact: he taught the Sanatana Dharma of the Ancient Rishis, in other words the Dhamma of the "Previous Buddhas". And nowhere in the whole of the Five Nikayas did Gotoma ever deny the (Supreme) Atman of the early Vedanta. He used "anatta", as an adjective, as in, the "Five Khandas" are "not (the) Self", in other words, the "not-Self" of the Upanishadic teaching of Neti Neti , or "Not this Not this", that is to say (the Path of Negation) whereby all phenomenal states, conditions, things, etal, are seen and known as being "not the Self" (therefore all compounded things are not the 'true Atman' or Atta), in their being compounded, and dependant,: but Gotama never denied the Soul, the real Atman or Atta, in other words the Tathata, or Buddha Nature itself,, the Nirvana Dhatu (i.e., Param Brahma) is the "Self", and obviously, to any person with some real intelligence, the self, is clearly not the Self, the Atta or Atman; or the ego, is clearly not the Buddha Nature. "Buddhists" like yourself do an injustice both to Gotama and the True Buddha Dharma, which you certainly are not teaching! And clearly, you possess no real understanding, of the Original Buddha Dharma. There are so many "self congratulatory narcissists", strutting regally in ochre robes, faining an aura of piety and fake spiritual accomplishment, truly sickening and despicable. When willl these Theravadins "get a clue": O Lord Buddha, help them see the true light and way of the true Buddha Dharma, as they cannot see to help themselves!

Frauncis Shakespeare only process of mind and body.. No I, me or soul

[@annwilliams6438]

Wow! You certainly are not about joy, acceptance, peace and compassion.... I doubt your judgementalism this time around is going to make you enlightened even though it seems that you rely heavily on your correctness about Buddhist teachings. Pls save us from 'teachers' like you.

[@hypnoz7871]

@@annwilliams6438 I agree with you but he's right about one thing. Anatta isn't "No-Self" but "Not-self". As a Neti neti or via negativa (not this not that).

From being wronged, some will try to be right. Making other wrong. Or being told they are wrong for doing so. An apple will grow in to a tree, blossom and give an apple. Hurt people hurt people. I am so thankful to see you do so. As now I know how I do it. And do not know. May I and you be free from the need to be right, to earn love. To be worthy. I am grateful for you. ❤

[@JaySoul711]

@@AurelienCarnoydoesn’t seem right that the mind can kill human the body by making itself think it froze itself, but then the mind can’t cure the body when it had terminal cancer ? Lol. Sounds hypocritical 😊
