Buddha Basics Podcast 03 - No Self, No Problem

[Jundo]

Our Zen of Everything Podcast continues it reverently irreverent look at the basic history and teachings of Buddhism and Zen, for both newcomers and fellow 'old Zen fools.'

This week:

Buddha Basics Podcast 03 - No Self, No Problem
https://www.zen-of-everything.com/81

Buddhism often talks about how there is no self, but there is a self; if not, we couldn't take selfies. But at the same time there's no self. No problem.

And though our Zen way is beyond all likes and dislikes ... if you like the darn thing, please leave a positive ratings on iTunes! It really helps support the effort.

This whole podcast really reminds me of something I heard from the neuroscientist Sara Lazar. The self is definitely an illusion generated by the brain, it's a product from evolution. But it's quite a useful one. Evolution doesn't really care if this way of being makes us suffer or not. But I am glad that zen exists so that we can see the wholeness that is already there and is beyond this small self.
