[@vensonata]

Sadhu! A fine discourse on emptiness.

[@sumuduwijenayake2353]

Amazing dhamma talk. The path to liberation and stream entry so clearly explained in just 30 minutes. Thank you ajahn🙏.

[@andromedanwarrior9004]

Dear Ajahn, I have listened to many commentaries on the teachings of the buddhas' dhamma even when I was a monk myself, however I must say yours are the most enjoyable, I could listen to you all day everyday. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.

Ako Ajahn, today I have watched your preaching dhamma about See the dhamma as empty, Sadhu!

[@timwaldorf]

Dear Bhante. Thank you very much for your teachings! Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.

[@livingprimitively]

Thank you! This is one of the best dhamma talks ever! I would like to request if possible that you make a discourse on the animal realm and maybe even plants. It is the only realm I couldn't find in your videos with Ajahn Sona.

Sadhu. Sahdu. Sahdu. 🙏🙏🙏 ““So, to the One With Excellent Sight, I have come in need with a question: Looking on the world in what way does the king of Death not see one?” Look on the world as empty, Mogharāja, being always mindful. Having removed wrong view of self, in this way one will cross beyond Death. When looking on the world in this way the king of Death does not see one.” from snp5.16

Your understanding of Dhamma and teaching is incredible, thanks to you I have been able to keep trusting the practice thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾

[@edzardpiltz6348]

What I have always wondered about buddhism is, how they combine such contrary concepts as "no self" and "rebirth" into one philosophical system and still claim congruency. In my view these two concepts exclude each other. What I mean is, if there is no self, what is it that is reborn? Of if there is re-birth, what is it that has already existed at least once before?

[@icovarrubias]

As far as I understand it, what carries on to the next life is a very subtle aspect of mind (there is a coarse, a subtle and a very subtle mind), one could think it's not "you" in general that is reborn but a very specific part of your mental continuum. This explains why someone doesn't just readily remembers past lifes. As for the no self part, this points to interdependence of all phenomena (including self) and the absence of inherent existence. We could say that there is a part of what you think as yourself that is being reborn but is in itself dependently arisen therefore without essence.

[@5piles]

this moment cant perpetuate itself into the next. similarly the final moment of this life functions to cause the first moment of the next.

[@edzardpiltz6348]

@@5piles thanks for your answer. Let me see if I understand you right. What you purpose it's a moment to moment as opposed to a lifetime to lifetime kind of rebirth. Is that correct? An other takeaway for me would be is, that all that gets reborn is just the moment itself, but no person or self or any kind of entity as a center of experience? Is that what you are saying?

[@5piles]

@@edzardpiltz6348 if you declare your nonexistence and perceive it it is yourself that apprehends this. this person lacks the ability to endure into the next moment through its own power, and is therefore empty of an abiding self. such a person at the time of death with that final moment of mind terminating through having functioned produces the effect of the first moment of mind in what you'll call your life

[@sachaltyagi6102]

Homage to you Ajahn! 🙏 Yesterday your dhamma talk with Ajahn Sona , about "six heavens" was uploaded , today when I was about to hear it, I cannot find the video.. It has been removed from the channel I guess.. I wonder why..? Please give some link to get that Dhamma talk .. I always wait to hear Dhamma talks on Buddhist Cosmology by Ajahn Punnadhammo.. Have heard all of them so far.. Amazing they are.. Thanks.. 🙏:)

[@sachaltyagi6102]

Okay that video on six sensuous heavens has been uploaded.. Just watched it.. Awesome it is.. Thank you Ajahn Sona and Ajahn Punnadhammo ..🙏 Namo Buddhassa 🙏:)

[@profile_01]

Thank for your sharing this. I have been contemplating Buddhism from afar for 25 years. Can you help me understand its position- What exists ultimately, nothing? No God, no Self, No Absolute Reality so what then exists?

[@cassieA4]

The Buddha doesnt take a stand on this as it leads to more views. Existence is dependent on causes and conditions. Once the causes are undone existence ceaes to be. Try studying dependent origination. Which shows the chain like causes that condtions existence. There is no ultimate being as such, just mere processes working in rapidity that create a sense of self . You have to get into insight meditation proper to start unravelling these questions for yourself.

[@buddhistphilosopher800]

White Willow, that would be nihilism. The nature of reality is *Shunyatha, Emptiness* : neither exists nor non existence. That's the inconceivable *Middle Way.*

[@cassieA4]

Yes, you are correct! It is just a process of arising and ceasing due to cause and conditions thus sunyata, anatta. @@buddhistphilosopher800

[@buddhistphilosopher800]

@@cassieA4 Since phenomeno are causal one to another - interdependent, there are no phenomeno permanent, inherently substancial, independent, and at such, this means there aren't phenomeno arising a ceasing. Arising and passing away is just an apparence. This not coming from the Pali teachings, but from Prajñaparamita.

[@Dive_Me_Crazy]

Thank you for this talk, I really got a lot from it. One question. At around 20:16 you say a pali term for the subtle "perception" of self that persists after stream entry. I am afraid I could not pick the word you used, could you let me know what it is? There is a lot I would love to discuss about the experience but this is not really the forum for that. Once again, thank you for your channel.

What is the purpose of procreation when life is just suffering? Isnt it selfish then to bring another life into this world knowing its just suffering?

[@acesius393]

Nope. Iv'e never experienced my own appearance or disappearance. I have only ever experienced the appearance or disappearance of the aggregates. Anatman simply indicates an aggregate that is not the self, not that there is no self.

Is "nothingness" a process that requires active suppression of thoughts or a passove process not requiring artificial suppression of thoughts?

@@kingspeech3555 the difference are many and contradictory between many sects. Kathavatthu is full of them. Major teachings were lost (what were the minor rules that could be changed after Bhudas passing that Anandas forgot to ask and for which he got a lot of heat from the Ahrnants). Cyclical Universe is a theory, not science. Do you believe Anandas levetated from door to his seat during First Council Meeting? Kings and rulers were involved in canonization during 2nd & 3rd council meetings. Political takeover very early on. Teachings such as celebicy are un-natural. There are many unnatural and unscientific teachings within its cannon.
