Mindful? Who's watching the watcher?
Who’s watching the "watcher"? Buddhism’s Answer to the endless watcher
(Buddhism Podcast)
June 26, 2025: Buddhism Explained. [Who’s watching? There is watching; the question assumes a watcher, a habit of our customary way of thinking built into the language with nouns that do verbs. But if watching is only an impersonal process, then what?]
What if [that which or] the one who watches our thoughts is just another thought? This video gently follows a deep question in Buddhism: Who observes the observer?
Understanding the perfection of wisdom: it is all impersonal, empty (shunyata), not-self (anatta).
Step by step, we walk through the layers of awareness, the habit of searching, and the quiet freedom beyond identity.
Through the Buddha’s teachings, the Dharma, we see how presence needs no owner. We don’t have to become anyone — we’ve never been apart from this presence. It has always been here.
00:00 - The strange question that changes everything
04:20 - The mirror that reflects itself
09:21 - Meditation — where the question becomes real
14:38 - The peace beyond the search
18:44 - The unshaped presence
