The teaching of Mankadawala Sudassana Himi.

The teaching of Mankadawala Sudassana Himi.
I have listened to many Dhamma talks given by this monk.
I found his teachings provides a very clear view of Buddha's teaching.
In the following video, he said that Anatta does not mean that there is no person. But what it means is the dependent origination of the five aggregate. He clearly explains what is reborn is not you.
This is very similar to the following discussion we had in this forum.

This video is in Sinhala language. Do not worry there is nothing new which we have not discussed in this forum.

Ven. Sudassana argues that complete Tipitaka is required for the final liberation.
The video is in Sinhala language.
- Vinyapitak = Sila (virtues)
- Suttapitaka = Samadhi (concentration)
- Abhidhammapitaka = Panna (wisdom)
