“Our deluded experience of ourselves represents a demonstrably false description of what can really be known to be only a series of evanescent sensory events”

Arnold 2005: 31

Day 2: Anātman and Philosophy conference

"We can experience the true Brahman but we can not express it in human language, in expression...

- Just as salt gets dissolved into water and it can not be picked out again, but wherever we taste the water it is salt"

Dr Amrita Nanda

[oxford public philosophy @oxpubphil]

Why act if the doer and the enjoyer are not the same?

One analogy W. Scott puts forth on behalf of the Buddhist is that of the parent bringing up their child...

Similarly, "the cognitions of the agent act for the sake of the cognition of the enjoyer, without any self-interests"

"Our conference will focus on non-English language categories with an eye to whether our received assumptions, colour and distort our understanding of them" Aamir Kaderbhai
