A talk by Anam Thubten on No Self, No Problem. No self is an old concept in the Buddhist sutras. To Anam, we are not a single entity but more multi-dimensional, if we look deeply into our consciousness. No Self, No Problem is also the title of one of his books in English.
For a related practice, see our self-compassion meditation page. Self-compassion is a feeling and a skill many people cultivate to help manage the pain, hardship and suffering of living in this complex, uncertain, changing, and sometimes aggressive world. It is a reminder of how important self-care is, especially during tough times and when rebuilding one’s resilience. The more we practice mindfulness (nonjudgmental awareness), the more we may prioritize self-compassion as a way to simply take care of ourselves, to value ourselves as much as anyone else, and to replenish ourselves for the service of others.
