The Meaning of Selflessness

Description

The Supreme understanding is to realize the meaning of selflessness. Our primary delusion is our identification with ourselves as autonomous and unchanging. This misperception is the cause of Dukkha, the underlying dissatisfaction with our lives. Fundamental to the Buddhist practice is an understanding that we do not exist as we think we do or in any way we could possibly imagine. This first teaching of Atisha's text invites us into the open space potential of who we really are. Jetsunma outlines some of the basic tenants of the Buddhist path and inspires us to seek something deeper than what we already know.

Ahhh, I love this. I wish I could sit at her feet and learn all day, which at this time is not doable. How grateful I am that I can come back and listen whenever I want and can, any time, again. Thank you for this!

Selfless Service will make you Divine, said Swami Sivananda of Rishikish. To arrive to this state requires daily practice and moment by moment practice. When does it stop being ego driven? When does it become selfless.

Dearest Grete, isn't Jetsumna wonderful? So glad you are here! xok

Hoda, I have found the Bhagavad Gita to be a wonderful resource and guide for unpacking this mystical state of desire-less action. xok

Very wonderful explanation of something so hard to explain - how we don’t exist as we think we are. By peeling the layers back, how can we find what makes the “I” an “I?” Selflessness is a tricky subject. Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo articulated this all wonderfully.

Thank you❤️ She is amazing. The way she talks is like being on the journey with her. Love and very peaceful.
My mind was going in all these directions. As I listened my mind slowed down and there was a peaceful calmness.
