SUMMARY:Online: The Thinning of the Self - Exploring and Practicing Anattā (Not-Self)
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Thinning of the Self – Exploring and Practicing Anattā (Not-Self) \nwith Donald Rothberg \nSaturday\, August 20th\, 2022 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET \n \n\n  \nThe teaching of anattā (“not-self”) points to one of the three fundamental areas of liberating insight taught by the Buddha\, along with the teachings on anicca (impermanence) and on dukkha (usually translated as “suffering”). Yet anattā can be very challenging and confusing for contemporary practitioners. Is there “no self” (sometimes anattā is translated as “no self”)? How do we understand our senses of individuality\, identity\, ancestry and ethnicity\, and vocation? How do we address our own personal experiences of woundedness\, trauma\, and oppression? Are these all simply to be “transcended”? How is a sense of self\, as the Buddha taught\, in many ways important for spiritual development\, and how is working with our own individual conditioning\, whether psychological or social in origin\, central to our liberation? How do we integrate attending to such conditioning with opening as well beyond the habitual sense of self? \nIn this daylong\, we will explore these vital questions primarily in a practical way. Using the metaphors of “thinning the self” and working with a “thick” sense of self\, we will cover three aspects of practice: (1) cultivating\, in several ways\, the “thinning” of the self\, both in meditation and in everyday life\, including working with the Five Skandhas or “aggregates” of experience (a main way that the Buddha taught anattā); (2) tracking and working with different manifestations of a “thick” sense of self\, both as appearing in experience and as hidden to awareness; and (3) opening beyond a fixed sense of self\, as awareness\, compassion\, and responsiveness deepen. \nDonald Rothberg will also be giving an evening talk on Buddhist Wisdom Perspectives and the Transformation of Racism on Friday\, August 19th\, 2022 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm ET.
