Who are you? What is your self? What is that which you call 'I' and who are 'you' to call it that?

Inquiry into the nature of the self is at the core of the Buddha's teaching and it is the key to the Buddhist liberation from suffering. In this video we explore an ancient Buddhist story (from sometime between 100 BC and 200 AD) that has become iconic in the tradition.

It is a story about a monk, a king... and a chariot.
