This class will look into the Buddha’s teachings on Anatta — a strategy for releasing the heart from self-centered clinging. Anatta, sometimes translated at “not-self,” is one of the three characteristics that mark all conditioned experience. Insight into the conditioned nature of phenomena leads to the mind letting go of its deep habits of attachment and identification. We often live our lives through the lens of self-centered fear and longing. We are so busy doing this that we miss how much stress and suffering is involved in seeking happiness this way. As we learn to see more clearly, we discover that we can simply let things be. Each class will include a talk, discussions, and guided sitting time.
