@Juanster23 By this definition, if you read heart sutra, there is "Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness" in english translation, this is the elements of ego. The sutra says it is empty, which my understanding because it is impermanent, doesn't mean that it is false.

  @Juanster23 Not related to buddhism, "ego" in psychology is a psychological function in reaction to the outer world or self, I would argue it was just a part of self, not the whole self. You can see how many people who can go against their conditioned functions and behavior.

  @Juanster23 If this is an illusion, there is buddha there is you.

  The ego wants to survive, you create the idea of your own buddha. How do you know buddha teaching is real?

  Without your ego and judgement, how do you know? Does it comes by itself?

  @Juanster23 The self I spoken of is not atman, without self there is without truth.

  "Mother, father, who are there?" "Where am I?" "Who am I?"

  There is no truth at all, nothing. You don't feel hungry, no experience, no consciousness.

  Is there no self, no mind, no psychological, no biological condition, and is there anyone who has no error or flaws at all?

  @Juanster23 Self is self, self-deception is self deception, I think you must have mistaken what I meant.

  Personality is impermanent, but self exists, personality just form part of self, rather than reality.

  Do you still think you have no self?

  How do you come up with ideas, or even know the exist...

@Juanster23 In which line did I say there is a permanent everlasting self?

I said removing clinging, but not self, and there is no way of removing self.

  @Juanster23 Like i said earlier, there is no suffering because there is no clinging. It was clinging to be removed, not self.

  @Juanster23 Because there always is a self, why you don't want a self?

  Yes, as long as you live there is suffering, and no one escapes from that, but even suffering can be impermanent as life itself, as long as you understand your self nature and impermanence, it was easier to remove clinging.

  @Juanster23 I've just read and answered. No self, you don't even know the existence of five aggregates or even buddha, all was told by buddha.

  Not that I want a self, because I have a self, I am born with it, and cannot do with it until nirvana.

  @adehmark How do you expect everyone understand the sutta in the same way?

  How do you know that your doctrine is the only right doctrine?

  @adehmark Which sutta is the original?

  The concept of anatta and atman came even before buddha was born, especially in the Upanishads.

  Not buddhism, the teaching of Nisargatta Maharaj as well as Papaji focus on the same thing as well.

  Even the Zen tradition and the platform sutra focus on the sam...

  @adehmark But an easy way out doesn't mean it was a bad way to end suffering. People in the modern age is especially cognitive to object, to sensation, to identity. The mind itself is not enough, you must use illusions to free of illusions, there is no "real" if there is no "unreal".

  Incredible work with wicked bassline.

  I always thought that this song is impossible to arrange solo guitar for, but you made it work. The bridge is very tricky though.
