Abstract

The concept of Anatta or not self is perhaps one of the most central teachings in Buddhism which makes it distinctive and unique in comparison to all other major existing religions in the world. Without a proper understanding and realization of the concept of not- self, it is impossible for one to come to an understanding of the essence of the Buddha’s teaching or to progress on the Buddhist path of liberation. However, a quick glance at the currently available Buddhist literature reveals the fact that the not-self doctrine is still the most misunderstood and misinterpreted aspect of the Buddha’s teaching among the non-Buddhists as well as Buddhists.
