Join us Tuesday night as we explore anattā—not-self. The Buddha taught this not to prove/disprove a self exists, but to guide us toward freedom from suffering. Deep investigation, open hearts. All welcome. 🧘‍♀️ www.dhammatalks.org/books/Selves...

The Buddha taught interdependence—when one suffers, we all suffer. Today on Human Rights Day, we honor the dignity inherent in all beings. May we walk the bodhisattva path of justice, protecting the rights of every person. #EngagedBuddhism #HumanRightsDay
