Sense Of Self - The Buddha Dharma Series

Sense Of Self - The Buddha Dharma Series

Author: Yeshe Rabgye February 26, 2021 Duration: 10:51
In Buddhism, one of the most difficult teachings for people to understand is anatman or non-self. The doctrine states that in humans there is no permanent entity that can be called a self or a soul. This denial of “any Soul or Self” is what distinguishes Buddhism from other major religions, such as Christianity and Hinduism, and gives Buddhism its uniqueness. This sense of being a permanent, solid, autonomous self is an illusion. The problem is this illusion is so ingrained into our ordinary experience. We have a sense of a permanent, individual self, but that is all it is, a sense, a feeling.

In a world often filled with noise, Buddhism Guide offers a space for practical reflection. Hosted by Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist monk originally from England, this podcast approaches ancient wisdom with a grounded, secular perspective. Yeshe travels internationally, sharing teachings on meditation, mindfulness, and mental well-being, but here he distils those conversations into accessible audio sessions. The tone is deliberately unpretentious, stripping away cultural ornamentation to focus on the core principles that can be applied to modern life. You won't find dogma here; instead, each episode invites a personal examination of your own mind and experiences. Yeshe presents ideas with clarity, never demanding blind acceptance but encouraging thoughtful inquiry. Whether exploring the nature of suffering, the mechanics of meditation, or the everyday cultivation of compassion, this podcast serves as a pragmatic companion. It’s for anyone curious about how Buddhist thought can inform a more resilient and aware existence, regardless of spiritual background. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like engaging in a considered dialogue, one that values your own insight as much as the teaching itself.
