DESCRIPTION
If our concept of “self” is that of a unique, permanent entity that remains unchanged from one moment to the next, let us first ask if such a self can even exist. If we identify our self with our body, it becomes evident upon close observation that our body is not the same from moment to moment. The cells, molecules and atoms that comprise our body are in a state of continual flux. Thus, there is no constant physical body, or any material thing, that we can point to and call a permanent self. Our mental processes are equally subject to the impermanence of reality. The mental aggregates-sensation, perception, impulse and consciousness, which are the elements of the “mind,” are all in perpetual flux. When one fails to recognize the principles of impermanence and no-self (anatman), one is inviting suffering and distorted perceptions of reality.
