Bhikkhu Bodhi: Chachakka Sutta—The Six Sextets, Part 2

This podcast explores Sutta 148 of the Mochimuni Prayer, focusing on the idea of Anatta, or non-self, through six sets of elements: sense faculties, objects, consciousness, contact, feeling, and craving. The speaker emphasizes that since all these elements are impermanent, they cannot form a lasting self. The conversation also addresses how identity arises and fades (Sakkaya), linking our attachment to these fleeting elements with suffering. It highlights the path to liberation by letting go of craving and developing insight into non-self. Additionally, the podcast examines the underlying tendencies—lust, aversion, and ignorance—and their effects on our suffering and the journey toward freedom.
