Non Self
Anatta Lakkhana Sutta (Discourse on the Non Self Chrs)
The body is not self; The feeling is not self; Perception is not self; Mental processes is not self; Consciousness is not self; Because if those were the self, those elements would not leads to affliction. Those elements is inconstant and those that inconstant would lead to sufferings or pain…
I hav summarise the above Sutta and just take woteva I believe, wot non self is all about. It is about suffering for our mental state of mind is always in continous change … Inconstancy means suffering…
When one can actually reach the constant state of mind, there will be no more suffering…. Wots there to suffer if u can’t feel extreme happiness or extreme pain???? +)
Thats my opinion, tho I dont think I ll eva be one of those wise one… I, myself crave for life on its flux of ups n downs. Tho sometimes drives me crazy, but at the same time, I feel grateful for wot life can offer n wot I learnt from it….
From all experiences Ive got, good and bad… I learnt to hate, to forgive, to be strong, to appreciate, to understand, and to love ……No matte how love fails us.. It is thru our love that we share and we give, is wot truly makes our lifes beautiful… Mayb this too will change but for the time being, let it be…
The discourse of non self is sth beyond me… my Understanding is limited as I am still quite attached to wots around me…
Wish you all well n happy in woteva journey u’ve taken…
Always wif lov, Mel
