SN22:59: Anatta Lakkhana Sutta & various suttas | Ajahn Brahm | 23 June 2025

Ajahn Brahm discusses various suttas to show how the aggregates of existence, or khandas, that we take to be a self–namely body, experience, perception, will, and consciousnesses–are in fact empty of any permanent essence. This teaching was given on a retreat during Ajahn Brahm’s visit to Anukampa in the UK.  Sutta references: https://suttacentral.net/?lang=en [https://suttacentral.net/?lang=en] SN 22.59: Anatta Lakkhana Sutta  SN 22.56: Phases of the Clinging Aggregates SN 12.67: The Sheaves of Reeds SN 22.95: A Lump of Foam SN 22.85 Yamaka Sutta   Teaching retrieved from Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5rYNHx2aAQ&t=3s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5rYNHx2aAQ&t=3s] Ajahn Brahm is the Spiritual Adviser of Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project.
