I and MINE

Abstract

          The book “I and MINE” is the work of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu who is committed to understanding the essence of Buddhism. Adjust misunderstandings that were previously understood to be correct with right view. By relinquishing the hold on the "ego" which is fused with the main defilements, namely ignorance, desire, and clinging, causes the mind to be composed of the feeling that there is "egotism-selfish attachment" the mind loses its purity. That is, it is not the original mind that is pure and clean. But it has become just an illusion. It's just an embellished idea. Follow the story of the emotions that come into your environment. In order to achieve the aim of Buddhism by relinquishing clinging to egoism as one's self or self, one must strive to destroy the roots of suffering, namely greed, anger, delusion or ignorance, craving, and attachment, by leading the Noble Eightfold Path with Right Understanding etc. and have the final Right Concentration. In order to purify the mind and create an empty mind, when the mind is free from preconceived thoughts or free from "ourselves" the mind returns to its original state, that is, it is a naturally clean mind. The original state of mind is a state of emptiness from chaos through the power of thought. A state of light and dharma arises. And that is very important is there will be a state of perfection with wisdom. The author has explained that when the existence of the ego can be removed, it will lead to living a truly peaceful life in today's society.
