Your 'Self' Is an Illusion: 5 Insights for a Calmer Life - Dhamma Talk by Luang Por Sucitto

Sunday Dhamma Talk by Luang Por Sucitto on 14 Dec 2025.

This spiritual retreat teaching focuses on achieving serenity and equanimity amid the inevitable suffering, or Dukkha, of life. The core instruction involves developing a wise perspective and detachment to navigate the world without becoming overwhelmed by internal discord, which the speaker broadly terms forgiveness—the clearing of accumulated mental burdens like grievances and self-blame. By transcending a narrow, contracted 'me' state, which fixates on painful feelings and creates an illusion of personal ownership and permanent happiness, practitioners can embrace a broadened perspective and gratitude. This shift, nurtured by compassion and ethical responsibility, leads to the purification and expansion of the heart (Citta) and ultimately culminates in release from suffering, a state of unconditioned peace often called Nibbana.
