The Buddha's Teaching on the Elements

The teaching on the elements is precisely the teaching the buddha ave to rahula as a way for rahula to free his mind from papancha. And so we can have the same benefit that rohula got from hearng the words of the buddham if we take these instructions to heart and actually apply them. We can also see how deeply understanding selflessness or non self, by cutting through the proliferating tendencies of craving, conceit and rong view, expresses itself in the lived experiences of the brahma bihars.
