Ep. 241 – The Paradox of Self and No-Self

Heart Wisdom with Jack Kornfield

NOTE

Interconnectedness and Emptiness in Buddhist Philosophy

The interconnectedness of all things is highlighted through a series of events in the speaker's journey, showcasing the concept that everything is connected to everything else and each arises according to conditions. This interconnectedness is emphasized through historical events like the development of airplanes by the Wright brothers, the spread of Buddhism to Tibet in the ninth century, and the influence of previous generations. The idea of emptiness is presented as all things being connected and each arising codependently. The speaker suggests that understanding this interconnectedness and emptiness leads to enlightenment, as the concept of 'no separate me' emerges, and everything is seen as part of a dance, making it appear like a dream or phantom.
