Do you know me?
What harm can be caused by the egotistical self?
In Explore the Realm of Buddha (Part 9), Grandmaster JinBodhi guides us to know ourselves; as individuals we have independent thoughts, feelings, desires, and great wishes. Also, because we are each unique, we can exude a certain charm. However, when the self is too absorbed in itself, the five aggregates can flourish, harming the self, others, and even society! After all, what is the state of the “egotistical self”, and what harm can it cause?
In this lesson, Grandmaster JinBodhi analyzes the roots of the five aggregates and teaches us how to understand the “egotistical self” and how to stop the evil before the five aggregates flourish, learning to have contentment and gratitude for the happiness and joy in life!
