Why do I listen ? I have no idea what you’re talking about but something make me listen

*verse 147 from the Dhammapada* _Behold this body - a painted image, a mass of heaped up sores, infirm, full of hankering - of which nothing is lasting or stable!_ *verse 170 from the Dhammapada* _One who looks upon the world as a bubble and a mirage, him the King of Death sees not._ 🙏🙏🙏

6:00 It’s the ownership of the personality that is the issue. That sense of a self having ownership arises from craving. 15:14 sakkaya ditthi, anatta, and attavada go hand in hand - you will see that your sakkaya cannot be independent of the aggregates. 24:26 realize that the sense of I am arises in this, not the other way around. 42:58 what about free will? …you stop owning choice, the question of who subsides 46:32 what about letting go of responsibility? Responsibility remains, but you can stop owning it after first accepting it.

sadhu sadhu Bhante..

Yes, through both, craving for pleasure and aversion against anything unpleasant whenever they arise our sense of self is being reinforced - a very deep unconscious habit pattern - based on the underlying ignorance about anicca, dukkha and anatta.

How come nobody talks about the fact that Nargarjuna stole the chariot simile from this Bhikkuni in the suttas and he’s named as the most significant philosopher of Buddhism in the northern traditions?

[@hansenmarc]

Probably due more to chauvinism than Nagasena himself. He gave credit where credit was due: after giving the chariot simile, Nagasena added, "This was said by our sister Vajira when she was face to face with the Lord Buddha."

[@MrCristianContreras]

How does one through craving, creates a sense of being independent of the 5 aggregates?

[@dicsoncandra1948]

you're putting the second first. craving is there first, the sense of self is a result of it. With regard to ignorance and craving, the Buddha said: “An earliest point of ignorance, monks, is not manifest: ‘Before this, ignorance was not; then afterwards it came into being’. Even if that is said thus, monks, nevertheless it is manifest: ‘With this as condition, ignorance’. I say, monks, that ignorance, too, is with sustenance, not without sustenance." - AN 10.61
