Questions and Answers

Question: A lot of people seem to understand the teaching of non-self, but I don't. What can I do to understand this doctrine?

Answer: The teaching of non-self has to be personally realized through the practice of Vipassana meditation. One may acquire an intellectual understanding of the doctrine by reading the section of Non-Selfon our website. However, the actual realization is different than what one can grasp through reading.

Question: Is the teaching of five aggregates the same as the teaching of non-self ?

Answer: Yes, but one has to wisely understand the connection between the two doctrines. We advice you to take a thorough reading on both sections on our website.
