Thero explain how Buddhist view agree with the Theory of Evolution, and explain how the idea of SELF/Soul come into ones mind. in reality there is no soul/self / I/ Ego or any other hidden Agent. This is one main point in buddhist view, which is called ANATTA (No-self).Venerable Punnaji Explains further that reality what we perceive is relative to five senses of our body and is realy a Dream or delusion of existence. Nothing exist in absolute terms. the evolution of mind to a perfect pure state would make one to experience true nature of reality as it is.
