Anatta
by Āyasmā Aggacitta
Anatta, the concept of not-self, can be very confusing. We say: Nothing belongs to me; ‘not mine, not me, not my self’; all the mental defilements are just external visitors who come in and defile the mind. Then where does self-responsibility come in? If there’s no one there, who will reap the consequences of one’s actions?
