• Anatma, no Soul, Buddha Nature, Vedantins vs Buddhism

  One of the toughest aspects of Buddhism, from a metaphysical perspective, is the ‘no soul’, ‘anatma’ (or anatta) doctrine. Buddha didn’t mean that we’re soulless machines or anything like that.

  by Jennifer Hoffman -The love and the light that is required on your ascension journey is reflected in your reality in each moment. You cannot love in the past for that moment is gone.
