By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on October 12th, 2013 We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love,

By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on May 19th, 2013 You are your own teacher.
Looking for teachers can’t solve your own doubts.
Investigate yourself to find the truth – inside, not outside.
Knowing yourself is most important.

were walking along a riverbank.
“How delightfully the fishes are
enjoying themselves in the water!”
Chuang-tzu exclaimed.
“You are not a fish,” his friend said.
“How do you know whether or not
the fishes are enjoying themselves?”
“You are not me,” Chuang-tzu said.
“How do you know that I do not know
that the fishes are enjoying themselves?”

What is the self?
By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on August 2nd, 2012 What is the mind?

not substantial,
has no form,
no shape,
no color,
but, like a mirror, can clearly reflect objects.”
Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
