    Description

    This week I explore the concepts of anatta (not self), sakkaya ditthi (self-identity-view) and bhava tanha (craving to become) and how we can work to understand these terms as we move toward liberation. I guide a reflection practice and share some words from Joseph Goldstein. The episode ends with some guidance on ways to understand these concepts as we work to be antiracist.

    A weekly podcast exploring early Buddhist teachings and how they apply to 21st century life. Kate Spina is trained to share Buddhist teachings in the Theravada lineage. IG: @towardlight108www.towardlight.netinfo@towardlight.netToward Light is committed to continuing the tradition of the Buddha by making Early Buddhist teachings accessible to all who are interested in them. We offer multiple tools to help people cultivate and maintain a meditation practice and a spiritually-oriented life. Toward Light was founded to fill a gap in Early Buddhist meditation offerings, which have often been passed down through patriarchal lineage, and do not always take feminist and 21st century perspectives into account.
