Understanding Impermanence, Not-Self, Dukkha Talk 3 December 9 2017

This is a live stream and recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on December 9, 2017. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

This is the third in a series of three talks on understanding the Three Marks Of Existence - Impermanence (Anicca), the not-self characteristic (Anatta), and ongoing disappointment (Dukkha). It is due to misunderstanding the relationship between Anicca and Anatta that Dukkha arises and is maintained.

“The perceiving of impermanence, bikkhus, developed and frequently practiced, removes all sensual passion, removes all passion for material existence, removes all passion for becoming, removes all ignorance, removes and abolishes all conceit of "I am."

Each Saturday class will have a thirty-minuteShamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
