Hi
Pain underscores the three characteristics of being in Buddhism: dukkha (suffering), anicca (impermanence), and anatta (no-self). The anatta aspect may need a little more effort to penetrate. --ED --- In [email protected], siska_cen@... wrote: > > Hi Mike, > > > Vipassana meditation encourages you to face that discomfort and gain insight into the impermanence of that pain/discomfort and how our body/mind reactes to it (usually aversion). > > I've seen you relating pain to insight into impermanence a few times. I often read this in books or articles too. Why isn't it related to suffering and no-self too? When experiencing pain, one can see it as pain instead of *my* pain. This is not insight of impermanence, is it? > > Siska ------------------------------------ Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading! Talk about it today!Yahoo!
