Non-selfThe Buddha’s teachings emphasize the concept of “anatta”, which means “Non-self”. The “Self” here means a state of permanence, oneness, and dominance.It is due to habitual practice of attachment that a “self” is formed in our mind.We believe the “Self” is constant, independent and everlasting such that we tend to manipulate people and things around us, carving for attention and approval. These are manifestation of obsession with the “self”.Our thoughts, influenced by many conditions, are ever-changing and non-self as well.无我佛法说无我，这个“我”是常、一、主宰之意。人长久串习的执著，会在心里构建出一个“我”的存在，认为“我”会一直存在，不会变化，可以独立，不需要别人，而且喜欢去支配周围的人和事，希望别人重视自己的意见等，这些都是我执的表现。思想是许多因缘影响的、变化的，也是无我的。
