0766- TALKS: Samsara, Circularity & Release

Episode 0766- Samsara, Circularity & Release
(Click on the above link or here, for audio.)


Comments on the concept of Samsara from multiple Buddhist & Hindu traditions. Three views of samsara: (1) as an environment of rebirth ("ocean of samsara"), the beings who continue experiencing rebirth (5 skandhas as samsara), and as an essential contemplation topic (from Jainism).

 

Shaivism & Atimarga, Ajahn Maha Bua & freedom from identity, apparent linear path-progress vs. circularity & unwholesome repetitiveness. Date: 5/24/23

 

Additional references from Pali Buddha-Dhamma, Bhagawan Nityananda & Advaita Vedanta, Ra Material, core Taoism, transpersonal psychology & Western metaphysics.
