The World-Honored One said,
“All dharmas are empty of a self.”
What are all dharmas? What is to be empty of a self?
In this Mahayana Abhidharma commentary of the consciousness only (yogacara) school, Venerable Vasubandhu elucidates on the way our mind functions and relates to the world we exist in. What are these Hundred Phenomena? How does this teaching apply to us in our daily lives? Come join us and learn how to better manage our mind and emotions as we pave the way to true inner peace and happiness, Nirvana.
