The Crowd Inside Can Have a Rhythm | Joe #7 | 12.16.21

Joe and Dhammarato discuss the etymology of the word “anatta” and its relationship to the Greek “atmós” as a route to understanding the impermanence of the five aggregates, their role as a basis for paticcasamuppāda, and the potential for wholesome change through the reunification of mind in the Eightfold Noble Path.
