冥想: 梅尔文·埃斯科巴对身份和无我的思考

我们邀请您通过这种引导式冥想加深您的练习，并讨论探索关于身份的两种相互冲突的观点, part of our monthly series Saturday Morning Meditation. At the heart of Buddhism is the saying, “Nothing whatsoever should be clung to as ‘I’ or ‘mine.‘” This teaching, as encapsulated in the concept of no-self, instructs us that the key to ending our suffering is to let go of a fixed sense of self. Yet identity, as a site and source of resistance, is crucial to our struggle for collective liberation. This is a continuation of the October Saturday Morning Meditation.

This session is open to all levels.
