Hello Aloka,

Could you say how you apply this to your own everyday life and practice and how you connect it to the Buddha's teachings on anatta, please ? I am practicing Satipattana Vipassana and trying to be aware of my body and mind from the moment i wake up till i sleep. I find seeing the rising and falling of things quite depressing and i am still not strong enough to keep the intensity of my practice. My practice is "dry insight" and i hope with time my concentration will improve and will be less distracted by thoughts so i can practice some samatha.

Sometimes i am not very sure when should i follow my mind! The more i follow what it wants, the more i believe that its me! Taking simple decisions like checking my facebook, eating something i like (if it not already available), buying a coffee from starbucks...etc becoming increasingly difficult.

Regards,
Bundokji
