Online: Making Sense of Anatta
with Paul Fulton
Saturday, October 22nd, 2022 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
Many Buddhist teachings just seem to make good sense, until we encounter the often vexing teachings on anatta, not-self.
Try as we might, for most of us, for most of the time, the thing we can seem surest of is that we exist, and the concept remains fundamentally confusing. What does not-self really mean?
In this half-day event, we’ll examine the self from perspectives of Buddhism, a bit of social science, psychoanalytic psychology, and experience.
