The greatest gift is the
gift of the teachings
 
Anushka Fernandopulle's Dharma Talks
Anushka Fernandopulle
I am a lifelong spiritual practitioner who has trained for over 20 years in the Theravada Buddhist tradition in the U.S., India and Sri Lanka. I live in an urban area and consider how the practices can translate for my fellow citizens with a busy modern life; I am most interested in bringing these ancient teachings to the contemporary world, informed by my love of creative arts, technology, politics and pop culture. I also have an MBA and am particularly interested in the practice as it relates to leadership development -- how we can each see through the things that hold us back from manifesting our unique gifts and talents in the world. I am on the Spirit Rock Teacher's Council and teach at other meditation centers, but also do a lot of teaching & coaching in tech companies, nonprofit organizations, and less overtly spiritual settings.

2024-10-29 Anatta or Not Self 22:15
This talk explores the skillful view of Not Self. What we call our self is actually a conglomerate of many aspects, all of which are changing. None of the things that we identify with as ourselves have an essential "me" in them. This can be investigated in different domains of experience, from the body to emotions to the mind.
