Consciousness | Ajahn Lee Dhammadharo
from The Forest Path Podcast · host Sol Hanna
This episode is a talk given by the Thai forest meditation master Ajahn Lee Dhammadharo and is titled “Consciousness” . Less than a year before Ajaan Lee's death, some of his students began tape-recording his Dhamma talks. The following talk is one of the nine for which we have transcripts from the tapes — and one of the four for which the tapes are still extant. It's a very unusual talk, showing his distinctive humour and style, and providing a lively discussion of the ways in which the concepts of "self" and "not-self" actually function in practice. This talk was translated by Ajahn Thanissaro and was published on Access to Insight. Links: The Forest Path Podcast Support this podcast via Ko-fi --- ©1997 Metta Forest Monastery.
