      @alexp.s.4419 2 роки тому +16

      For the unhealthy sense of self, say the person believes they are dumb, inneficient or lazy and that those aspects that they identify with will never change for them, no matter what happens. That means it carries the sense of being permanent. On the other hand, a person with a healthy sense of self will acknowledge when they feel or believe themselves lazy, dumb or inefficient and know it is just a momentary experience and that they will identify with different things eventually. That means they realize those feelings, ideas or beliefs are impermanent.
      Again, for the unhealthy sense of self, a person will believe they do not need anything or anyone to achieve or be what they want. This means they carry a sense of being independent. On the other hand, a person with a healthy sense of self will understand that everything, including themselves, relies on other things to exist, such as the food we eat that comes from other beings, the air we breathe that also depends on other beings for itself to exist in the form that is useful for us, and so on. That means we are interdependent.
      Lastly, for a person with an unhealthy sense of self, they will believe that we are all the same, without any variation between us and in themselves. This happens when people talk using generalizations or stereotypes, for example. On the other hand, a person with a healthy sense of self acknowledges and maintains diversity and uniqueness of both individuals and groups, as with efforts to preserve indigenous cultural heritages.
      Now luminous sense of self, the sense of self beyond self, includes all of the above, as there is a realization that we journey through all of these senses at various points in our life and to varying degrees. The sense of luminous self is there when in the midst of us experiencing any of the senses above we are also aware that the other, opposite senses are just as real and present. The experience of compassion is a good example. We may feel stuck in a specific discomfort or confusion, but we also know there are other experiences in our vicinity that we can reach for or at least assist in making happen as our reality.

      @@alexp.s.4419 thank you for your generous sharing. It really helps to solidify my understanding. On the point of singularity vs multiplicity, I'd like to add something as I understood it a bit differently. In my understanding, singularity means a person sees him/herself as "either or", e.g. I'm either good or bad, either lazy or hardworking, either happy or sad. Whereas multiplicity means a person can embrace things as "either all", e.g. I can be both lazy and hardworking, both good and bad, both happy and sad. It means not seeing things in black and white, and the ability to accept complexity than to identify with just one absolute.

      I think the matter of our opinions of ourselves, positive or negative, is not the heart of the sense of permanence, as Alex P.S. describes below. I don't think it's so much about the characteristics or traits we label ourselves with. I think Rinpoche means, when he says 'unhealthy', more 'unrealistic' or not grounded in reality. I don't think it's about self-esteem or self-image. To my mind, the unhealthy aspect of the sense of permanence is more to do with the difficulty we have in accepting that our body will die at some point in the future. We tend to think of ourselves as eternal, unable to imagine a world where we don't exist. We know it in theory, sure, but to really live with that awareness of our own impermanence and to have that inform how we behave day to day (with more compassion, naturally), is not very easy for most of us. Death is, for most of us, a shock. It's silly really, that it should be so, as there is nothing more sure to happen.

    The Self is not a soul. There may be no concept of an individual soul in Buddhism but there is most definitely a Spirit- an Eternal Ground and that's what The Self is. So any scholar who says there is no idea of The Atman/Spirit in Buddhism is WRONG. Buddhism does NOT differ Vedanta in this aspect. The difference is in the way the Eternal is spoken of.
