👍 Buddhist Ethics §

Points §

Consequences of non-self §

How to live life? §

Implications §

• Identification with past and future stages in the casual series of skandhas
  • -> no 📍 Punctualism, relevance of time
  • e.g. unhealthy food -> bad future stages
• “Life” becomes a story one self gets to write
  • -> one self is the central figure in that narrative
  • -> we expect our lives to have value and significance
  • -> 🪦 Existential Suffering
• Less pain and suffering, since it is conventionally true
