Despite what you may have read, the Buddha never taught that there is no self. Nor did he assert that “our thoughts create the world.” Our Dharma in Dialogue series continues with a discussion of how our contemporary understandings of the Dharma are filtered by millennia of interpretation and commentary, and even distorted by misquotations and mistranslations—some of them willful. James Shaheen, editor of Tricycle magazine, has been running a series of articles exploring these misunderstandings, under the title “What the Buddha Never Said,” with contributions from luminaries such as Bhikkhus Bodhi and Thanissaro. Bodhipaksa, a Buddhist teacher and author, has been exploring quotations that have been falsely attributed to the Buddha, in his popular blog, fakebuddhaquotes.com. Join these two communicators in a fascinating discussion of the joys and pitfalls of attempting to “mythbust” the Dharma.
