This is a talk of around 20 minutes from Josh Korda of Dharmapunx NYC.

He discusses the stories we carry around about ourselves and about moving into areas that challenge us rather than creating a fixed identity.

If you have any comments, please feel free to share them after listening to the talk.

"Liberation from Self-Centredness."

Thanks Aloka,

The speech touches deep. Seems this kind of Dhamma teaching goes hand by hand with Noha Levine skills to spread Dhamma which goes directly to the very fundamental aspects of the teachings of Gotama Buddha.

There are some ideas that are important to ponder. This are:

"Wiring the Brain" as the foundation for change thorugh practice of Dhamma.

"There is no Core identity" as the very foundation of the very first step to understand Dhamma. This is challenging because it challenges what we most treasure: I am this, I am like this, I was like that... and then we lose the Dhamma and we end, again, with "I am my self", "This is mine", "This I am". The fundamental understanding is that the core identity is an illusion. It is truly nonexistent and it is truly not needed at all... if Dhamma is to be practiced.

"Most traumatic experiences" are to carry stories. Are to be about Core Identity.

"Stain, sin" where "kamma as a perfect law" can be added to this delusive thought... inherited by past -literal- lives (or the continuum of whatever after death)... the birth -jati- of identity, again.

A wonderful speech. An outstanding stuff as an aid to work with.
