Zen Master Dae Kwang - Middleway (#2 Talk, Part 2 of 7)

[mujaku]

The Buddha said that suffering IS the five aggregates (form, feelings, perception, volitional formations, and sensory consciousness). By clinging to the five aggregates we undergo suffering. But the Buddha said that our true self is NOT the five aggregates which are always conditioned. To escape from such bondage we must attain Nirvana which is unconditioned, imperishable and deathless (amrita).

[Thet3]

So does that mean that i should want nothing and never get anything???

[Zenboy23]

No, that you should not be attached to them.

[questionful]

@Thet3 do you want buddha nature? do you want happiness? if you have happiness, i highly recommend you practice letting go of pleasures caused by worldly objects
