How the Absence of a Substantial Self Makes Liberation Possible

Date: 2025-09-04 Thursday

For this Sept. 4 sit we’ll be exploring the link between our lack of an inherent self – the understanding called not-self or anatta - and the possibility of awakening.

While the concept of not-self can be puzzling for people, the truth is that there would be no possibility of liberation, or awakening, were it not for the fact that we have no inherent self. We'll explore why this is so, and how to bring this understanding onto the path.

A goal will be to share this in a way that will be useful on the path for you, bringing greater freedom and ease, despite internal and external conditions.
