Self Quotes by Robert Thurman

Robert Thurman

However, because of your interconnectedness with all things, other beings still have a problem, and when you realize that you have no absolute self apart from things, you realize that essentially, you are all the other beings.

Self

Robert Thurman

The idea that somehow “no self, no problem”- I don’t exist because I don’t have a self- would be a mistaken understanding. However, the selflessness teaching is not that hard to understand. What it means is a type of self that people feel they have, like a fixed, unchanging identity. Either they know they have it, or for some, they feel they need to seek it, and possibly have an experience where they feel like they found something. That type of fixed, unchanging, essential self, or absolute self doesn’t exist. That’s what “no self” means.

You feel so happy about that, that you feel loving towards these poor being who are suffering in their separateness, and their alienation Then have the problem of how to help them get free, because just by your knowing that they’re essentially free, that doesn’t free them. Just by your being blissful, it doesn’t release them from their knot of separation and false self absolutization.
