"Anatta" is the Buddhist teaching on the nonexistence of a
permanent, independent self. It's a notoriously puzzling and
elusive concept, usually leading to such questions as, "If I don't
have a self, who's reading this sentence?" It's not that there's no
self there, says Rodney Smith. It's just that the self that is
reading this sentence is a configuration of elements that at one
time did not exist and which at some point in the future will
disperse. Even in its present existence, it's more a temporary
arrangement of components rather than something solid. "Anatta "is
a truth the Buddha considered to be absolutely essential to his
teaching. Smith shows that understanding this truth can change the
way you relate to the world, and that the perspective of
selflessness is critically important for anyone involved in
spiritual practice. Seeing it can be the key to getting past the
idea that spirituality has something to do with self-improvement,
and to accessing the joy of deep insight into reality.
