Buddha’s profound statement, “You are not who you think you are,” invites us to re-examine our deeply ingrained beliefs about our identity. Many of us carry a fixed sense of self, convinced that this is our unchanging essence. However, in a compelling teaching delivered during the New Year, Kadam Morten encourages us to delve deeper into this notion of self.
