In a captivating talk by Bhante Dhammagavesi of London, the concept of Perceptional Self Identity in Buddhism is explored. Buddhism holds that there’s no permanent self-identity; rather, the self is viewed as constantly changing. Bhante Dhammagavesi delves into how this idea challenges common beliefs about the self, explaining how clinging to a fixed identity causes suffering. By examining the fluid nature of the self, the talk encourages listeners to reflect on the implications of embracing impermanence and interconnectedness for personal growth and spiritual development

Teacher profile
All Sessions by Donation (Dana) to the Buddhist Library. All donations to the Buddhist Library of $2 and over are tax deductible.
Dana is the traditional practice of generosity, the extending of one’s goodwill, which is fundamental to Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. The instructions and guidance for this course are offered without requesting a fee and it is up to individuals to determine the amount of dana they would like to offer. It can sometimes be easy to become confused when we are new to this and we wonder “how much should I give?” This is a relevant question in the material economy but an appropriate dana cannot be prescribed but requires sensitivity to its intent and awareness of the costs and expenses associated with organising a course.
