Abstract

According to the philosophy of Buddhism, the cause for fear is attachment, which originates from ignorance. Ven. Kovido will talk on how to understand and overcome fear and attachment through understanding the real nature of the world. He will also discuss whether the world in reality is inside or outside the body.
