About this episode
Bhante Sathi discusses key Buddhist concepts of avijja and moha, along with related ideas like dukkha and misconceptions in language.
In this episode, Bhante Sathi breaks down key Buddhist ideas like avijja (lack of understanding) and moha (the delusion in a false sense of “self”). While the main topic focuses on these key conceptions, he also explains dukkha and misconceptions that can flourish in the realm of language. With simple, relatable examples, he discusses how easy it is to misunderstand these concepts—and how real clarity comes from paying attention to what’s happening in the present moment.
