Why We Mistake Illusion for Reality | Buddhist Wisdom Explained
#IllusionOfSelf #BuddhistWisdom #selfinquiry
In this dharma talk, we explore the nature of reality. By seeing through the illusion of a fixed, objective reality and a fixed, objective "you" we can flow more peacefully and harmoniously. Drawing on Buddhist teachings and cognitive science, we reflect on how perception is shaped by survival, not truth - and how our mistaken identity with a separate self lies at the root of our suffering. Through mindfulness and self-inquiry, we begin to see that the self is not a solid thing, but a process - arising and passing like everything else. And in that seeing, a deep freedom becomes possible.
