Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu states that the ‘new life’ is in fact very ancient, and the life of dukkha, of stress and suffering, is much newer. In this talk he provides an outline of the new way of life and the pitfalls to avoid. He explains that the problems – dukkha – are like waves of the ocean that arise and pass away, but the ocean is always there. When the waves have passed away there is peace and coolness. If we can remove feelings of ego and self, and positive and negative, from our lives, then there won’t be any more of these waves, there won’t be any more dukkha. He then goes into detail on how concepts and feelings and beliefs in ‘ego’ and ‘self’ are just illusions.
