Nota 8: Essence, Oneness, and Interdependence

The perception of oneness and interdependence is closely connected to the experience of not-self.
Buddhist philosophy emphasizes interdependent co-arising, where things are dependent on each other for their existence and lack inherent, independent existence.
The ideas of emptiness and oneness are not as different as they may seem, as both point to the interconnectedness of all things.

Nota 9: Tanha and the Sense of Self

Tanha, often translated as "thirst" or "craving," is tied to our sense of self and reinforces the idea of a separate and bounded self.
Overcoming tanha is a key aspect of the not-self experience, both internally and in relation to the external world.
Tanha fuels both attraction and aversion, which contribute to the perception of self and other.

Nota 10: Overcoming the Three Poisons

The three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion are closely connected to the not-self experience.
Greed and hatred, driven by tanha, reinforce the sense of self and other.
Overcoming these poisons involves eradicating tanha and the illusion of self, leading to liberation and a deeper understanding of emptiness and interconnectedness.
