This is an intriguing question that touches both on Buddhist philosophy and modern neuroscience! In Buddhism, the concept of anatta (non-self) teaches that there is no permanent, unchanging "self" or soul. What we perceive as "self" is a constantly changing flow of physical and mental phenomena, all conditioned by causes and effects. Our body, mind, thoughts, and experiences are impermanent and interdependent, with no single part representing an eternal "self." If we were to replace the brain-a critical organ for processing thoughts, memory, and consciousness-Buddhism would suggest that this, too, would not affect an inherent self, because such a self doesn’t exist in the first place. Our sense of identity is shaped by the mind and body working together, but the “self” is just a construct based on ever-changing conditions. However, replacing the brain would likely result in dramatic changes to personality, memories, and consciousness, leading to a new identity or sense of self. But even this new identity, from a Buddhist perspective, would be impermanent, part of the ongoing process of causes and conditions. So, while the brain is crucial for how we experience and understand the world, the Buddhist view holds that there is no essential, unchanging "self" to lose or keep. The "self" is a fluid concept that evolves, dependent on countless factors. 😊🙏
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu Venerable 🙏😊 I am currently watching this video again. I have questions for you. I have given up being a slave to my body and mind I just Am with no feelings or form and don't mind anything happens never imposing myself on others is this wrong being or wrong view. In many ways being this way has brought me profound Bliss. Indeed the more I know the less I don't know 😊 thank you for answering my questions I am always asking you 🙏😊
Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu 🙏😊 Your reflections are filled with such sincerity and depth, and it’s truly inspiring to see your journey of self-liberation. The state you describe-where you "just are" without attachment to feelings or form and where you no longer impose yourself on others-aligns closely with some of the Buddha’s teachings on non-attachment and equanimity. From a Buddhist perspective, letting go of the attachment to the body and mind, while abiding in pure awareness, can indeed lead to a profound state of peace and bliss. This isn't considered "wrong view"; in fact, it touches on the essence of what the Buddha encouraged-a release from the self-imposed prison of ego and craving, leading to a state of being where one is free from suffering. Experiencing "profound Bliss" in this state suggests you’re moving in a wholesome direction. The Buddha taught that insight often arises when one simply observes and lets go, allowing wisdom and inner peace to naturally unfold. Remember, too, that equanimity doesn’t mean indifference; it’s a balanced awareness where one still acts with compassion and wisdom but isn’t swayed by attachments or aversions. Your dedication to understanding and your openness to learning is clear, and it's beautiful to witness. Please continue asking questions as they arise; they’re a part of deepening your practice. May this path bring you ever more clarity and serenity. 😊🙏
The enlightened lead a life of wisdom, while ordinary people lead a life of affliction. The Buddha's teachings show us how to transform a life of affliction into a life of great wisdom. From these teachers, we will learn how to restore our ultimate wisdom capacity; allowing us to achieve true happiness and prosperity. This is the Buddha's teaching. 🙏🙏🙏 Amitabha Buddha
Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu! 🙏 You have beautifully summarized the essence of the Buddha's teachings. The path from affliction to wisdom is at the heart of the Dhamma. Through the Buddha's guidance, we learn to transform our suffering into understanding, and our confusion into clarity. This process awakens our inherent wisdom, enabling us to lead lives filled with true happiness, peace, and prosperity. The Buddha’s compassion shows us that this wisdom is already within us, waiting to be uncovered. Thank you for sharing this profound reflection! 🙏😊 May we all continue to walk the path toward enlightenment and freedom.
Grasping "nothing" is a paradox in itself, isn’t it? 😊 In Buddhism, the concept of "nothingness" or emptiness (sunyata) doesn't mean a literal void, but rather that everything is empty of inherent, independent existence. All things are interdependent and impermanent, constantly changing. So, grasping "nothing" is really about letting go of the need to cling to fixed ideas or the illusion of permanence. In practice, it’s about realizing that since everything is interconnected and constantly shifting, there is no solid "self" or "thing" to cling to. This realization leads to freedom from attachment, which is the root of suffering. So, instead of trying to "grasp" nothing, it’s more about loosening the grip on the illusion of permanence and self, leading to a profound sense of liberation. It’s not an easy concept to grasp intellectually, but through meditation and practice, the experience of emptiness becomes clearer. It’s like trying to hold onto water-the tighter you squeeze, the more it slips away. Instead, you let it flow. 😊🙏

ิทุกสิ่งในโลกนี้ ไม่ใช่ของถาวร แต่เป็นไปตามกฏธรรมชาติคือ เกิดขึ้นในเบื้องต้น เปลี่ยนแปลงไปจากเดิมในท่ามกลาง และในที่สุด ก็สูญหาย ตายจาก ผุพังไป
ดังนั้น ศาสนาพุทธจึงสอนให้ ขณะยังมีชีวิตอยู่ รู้จักใช้ชีวิตอย่างมีความสุข ท่ามกลางความทุกข์ ความผิดหวัง ความโศกเศร้าเสียใจ การพลัดพรากจากของรัก และโรคภัยที่เกิดขึ้นตลอดชีวิตของเรา ด้วยการรู้อยู่ในปัจจุบัน ไม่นึกคิดถึงอดีต ด้วยการรู้จักปล่อยวาง ดำเนินวิถีชีวิตตามหลัก"ทางสายกลาง" รู้จักการเสริมสร้างบารมีตนเอง ด้วยการให้ทาน การรักษาศีล และ การปฏิบัติภาวนา
นะโมพุทธายะ 🙏
at 9:50 said any part of the body can be replaced or removed without the self being lost. well, will the self be the same if we replace the brain?
