There's No "I" In Threesome

According to Buddhist theory, there is no 'I' or 'self' in anything.

With an hour to cover one of the most difficult concepts in Buddhism, he started the lecture normally. He was calm, cheerful and there was, as usual, a hint of excitement in his voice.

"No self: arguments and analysis that lead to the insight that there is no available object of experience that can be depended upon as the basis of an enduring and reliable self.
Arguments vary, but the 3 main ones are that all subjects are either,
1) clearly not me,
2) impermanent and therefore not the basis of an enduring self or,
3) the source of suffering."

9.38am - From here onwards, we suddenly picked up the pace.
His voice became increasingly uncontrolled; he started to slip and stumble over the words as he tried to read aloud 'The Chariot' (the Questions of King Milinda) as quickly as he could.

Pacing around the room, he laughed as he saw the look of confusion on the faces of the students infront of him:

"You want it to stop there don't you? Hahaha! Most people do. 'Fraid not!"

He moved into the light streaming in from the window and we could see his forehead glistening. Going back to the podium, we heard him gasp for breath mid sentence. He pushed his hair back and it obeyed; pliable with sweat.

"Do you think he dyes his hair?"

9.50am - "No, sorry, can't stop, or we'll never get finished. No questions, you can see me at the end!"

"You can't find the hand" he states, pointing emphatically at his hand, "in any of the bits of the hand. If you take away the bits of the hand, you can't find the whole hand. We add words to conglomerations of things. Co-dependence origination - remember the monkey plucking the apple?!"

I'm surprised he didn't need to lie down at the end.
