If there is no self and memories are not retained from life to life why is there a need to escape samsara?
If memories were retained I could understand wanting to escape given the burden of carrying countless traumatic experiences from life to life. Without retaining memories, each life seems like a fresh start.
If there is no you to experience Nibbana why is it desirable?
When Amir says he's gonna piss on Jake's jeans, we have no idea what he's planning... he's called about every single article of clothing that exists "jeans" at this point.
I’m exploring the Thai Forest Tradition. I know it has many critics but can anyone give me a generous explanation of how the idea of citta does not contradict the idea of anatta? The way I have heard and read it described seems very much like a self/soul. Also, from the Thai Forest perspective, what role does citta play once one has attained parinibbana.
Thank you.
