Buddhist scholars Richard Gombrich and Alexander Wynne argue that the Buddha's descriptions of no-self in early Buddhist texts do not deny that there is a self. [1] [2] Wynne and Gombrich both argue that the Buddha's statements on anattā were originally a "not-self" teaching that developed into a "no-self" teaching in later Buddhist thought.
The anattā doctrine of Buddhism denies that there is anything permanent in any person to call one's Self, and that a belief in a Self is a source of dukkha. [ 28 ] [ 29 ] Some Buddhist traditions and scholars, however, interpret the anatta doctrine to be strictly in regard to the five aggregates rather than a universal truth, despite the ...
Ātman (/ ˈ ɑː t m ə n /), attā or attan in Buddhism is the concept of self, and is found in Buddhist literature's discussion of the concept of non-self . [1] Most Buddhist traditions and texts reject the premise of a permanent, unchanging atman (self, soul). [2] [3]
The Anattalakkhaṇa Sutta or Anātmalakṣaṇa Sūtra (), is traditionally recorded as the second discourse delivered by Gautama Buddha. [1] The title translates to the "Not-Self Characteristic Discourse", but is also known as the Pañcavaggiya Sutta (Pali) or Pañcavargīya Sūtra (Skt.), meaning the "Group of Five" Discourse.

Likewise, western scholars have been divided in their interpretation of the Tathāgatagarbha, since the doctrine of an 'essential nature' in every living being appears to be confusing, since it seems to be equivalent to a 'Self', [note 8] [86] which seems to contradict the doctrines in a vast majority of Buddhist texts. Some scholars, however ...
The Saṃsāra doctrine of Buddhism asserts that while beings undergo endless cycles of rebirth, there is no changeless soul that transmigrates from one lifetime to another - a view that distinguishes its Saṃsāra doctrine from that in Hinduism and Jainism. [26] [27] This no-soul (no-self) doctrine is called the Anatta or Anatman in Buddhist ...
The aim of the Buddhist path is to reverse this causal chain: when there is no (response to) sensation, there is no craving, no karma, no rebirth. [ 64 ] [ 65 ] In Thai Buddhism, bhava is interpreted as behavior which serves craving and clinging, while jāti is interpreted as the repeated birth of the ego or self-sense, which perpetuates the ...
