This core Buddhist doctrine of Anatta means:
There is no 'Self' in here...
There is no 'Substance' out there...
Impersonal & void are all states & phenomena!
Ownerlessness is a universal characteristic of being!
Unsubstantiality is a universal characteristic of matter!

 


No-Self = Internal Impersonality!
