#Compassion ( #karuṇā) and loving-kindness ( #mettā) are presented in #Buddhism as cultivated dispositions grounded in #nonself ( #anatta) and #interdependence. Their role is to connect #ethical conduct with #meditative insight, bridging personal and social transformation. Here‘s a brief overview:

#DependentOrigination (paṭicca-samuppāda) in #Buddhism explains phenomena as arising through interdependent conditions. Through the twelve links ( #nidanas) it analyzes the origin of #suffering and its cessation, highlighting impermanence ( #anicca) and #nonself ( #anatta). Here‘s a brief overview.

Figure of a deity (oceanic art), Nukuoro, Caroline Islands, Micronesia, 19th century, wood, Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, Cologne, Germany. In Buddhist thought, the person as conventionally perceived is not a substantial self (ātman), but rather a provisional designation based on the five skandha — form (rūpa), sensation (vedanā), perception (saṃjñā), mental formations (saṃskāra) and consciousness (vijñāna). Just as this wooden figure evokes the human form without representing an individual person, so too does the self in Buddhist thought emerge from the dynamic interplay of impermanent aggregates, empty of intrinsic essence yet functionally coherent.
The #FiveAggregates in #Buddhism show self as process, not entity. Examining #form, #feeling, #perception, #formations & #consciousness shows #impermanence & #nonself, guiding to the end of #suffering.

The kanji 無心, which reads mushin in Japanese, literally means “no-mind”. The first character, 無 (mu), means “none” or “without”. The second character, 心 (shin), means “mind” or “heart-mind”. Together, they convey the idea of a state of mind that is free from attachment and reactivity.
#Mushin (無心), the #Zen state of "#NoMind", denotes a mind free from grasping and reactivity, enabling spontaneous, lucid action. Unlike mere blankness, mushin embodies refined #awareness and non-conceptual clarity, aligning with Buddhist ideals of #equanimity […]

Illustration of a chariot, referencing the famous simile from the Milindapañha. According to the Buddhist monk Nāgasena, just as a chariot is merely the sum of its parts — wheels, axle, yoke — and not a substance of its own, so too is the self a conventional designation for the five aggregates (skandhas). No enduring essence can be found in either. Interpreted and generated by DALL•E.
The #Buddhist doctrine of #nonself (#anatta) denies a fixed, independent self. Identity is a dynamic process without essence. This idea sets it apart from Western thought and points to #liberation:

The gankyil (Tibetan) or “wheel of joy” (Sanskrit: ānanda-cakra) is a symbol and ritual tool used in Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism. It consists of three whirling and interconnected blades. It often constitutes the wheel hub in the Dharma Wheel (dharmachakra), symbolizing the Three Marks of Existence: impermanence (anicca), suffering (dukkha), and non-self (anatta).

The #ThreeMarksOfExistence — #impermanence (#anicca), #suffering (#dukkha), and #nonself (#anatta) — are central to #Buddhism and reveal the nature of reality and roots of suffering:

Buddhist scripture Anatta-lakkhana Sutta teaches that there is no permanent Self. Our body, feelings, perceptions, and Mind are in constant change, like a flowing river. Clinging to a fixed identity only brings suffering. Embrace impermanence and enjoy Freedom. 🙏🙏
