The Many Me's in Meditation

About this episode

This episode explores the various versions of self that arise in meditation and how they affect suffering and inner peace.

This lecture explores the many different versions of “self” that arise within our minds through memory, emotion, relationships, expectations, and spiritual identity. Through Buddhist meditation, chanting, and mindfulness practice, we will examine how these shifting “me’s” influence suffering, attachment, and inner peace. Participants will learn how Buddhist practice helps cultivate awareness, compassion, and harmony beyond the fragmented ego-self, revealing a deeper understanding of Buddha-nature and interconnected life. Open to all experience levels.
