No Religion: 2nd Tier Circle
Began a new study on April 5th, 2020 and ended on June 21, 2020
The book No Religion by the Buddhist monk, Buddhadasa Bikkhu.
Four essential teachings:
1. "Not-self": the ephemeral and nature of the natural world;
2. Dhamma (Dharma): the way things are, natural law, truth, duty;
3. Two kinds of language: "people" language and "Dhamma" or spirit language;
4. No Religion: how the essence of all religions is no religion.
5. The benefits of working with a "void mind."
Buddhadasa Bikkhu goes deep into the feelings of separation that are characterized by the "I" and "mine" consciousness and how that leads to suffering.
