DESCRIPTION: This is a Dharma talk given by Malcolm Huxter on a 10 day online meditation retreat in Aug-Sept 2021. This talk was given on the evening of Day 8, Sept 3, 2021. It precedes and relates to guided meditations given on Day 9 of this retreat, Sept 4, 2021. The talk is about the ego, which in Buddhism could relate to the conceit of “I am”. This conceit is called Mana in Pali and it is, in fact, empty of self. This talk describes this conceit and how to find freedom from it by realizing its emptiness. Some of the ways we develop the belief in the ego are explained with reference to contemporary psychology. Two Buddhist perspectives on emptiness, as the third universal characteristic of existence, are also explained.
