Seminar 77 The Self: Understanding Its Nature, Its Workings, and Its Cessation
Who are we, beneath the stories we tell ourselves? Join Dr. Ananda to explore the Buddha’s teaching on self-view—how the sense of “I” and “mine” arises through the Five Aggregates, how it shapes our experience of suffering, and how mindfulness and wisdom help us loosen its grip. Discover why letting go of self-view is considered the first breakthrough on the path to awakening. Dr. Ananda Mahinkanda is an accomplished Accounting and Finance professional and Business Administrator with a Doctorate in Humanity. He is a lifelong animal lover, a serious meditation and Dhamma practitioner, and he is the founder of Samahitha Nature Foundation, USA, and serves as the International Advisor to the Sri Lanka Non-Violence Society.
