Some comments on "no self" ________________

"Anatta" ( anatta ) is the core philosophy and the specificity of Buddhism. That is why the Buddha was called  anatta-vadi , the teacher of "no self."This theory is contrary to Brahman's atman-Brahman , the official religion of the time in India. According to the Buddha, what we call the  ego , are  we , just the temporary gathering of the "aggregates" ( upadana-kkhandha ): "Though they have feelings, thoughts, actions, and awakings, they are also linked together, not separated, can not be separated and separated" ( Trung Kinh , 43). "Whether there are form, feeling, thought, action, consciousness, whether past, present, future far or near, must also understand reality and wisdom: this is not  mine , this is not  me.  "( Proverbs , XXI, 5). "For example, there is a blind man who watches the bubbles of the Ganges and watches them carefully." Looking at them carefully, those bubbles will appear as empty, unreal, non-existent. Similarly, monks must reconsider all phenomena of feeling, perception, past, future, far, near ... and find that they are empty, without reality, without substance "( Chapter XXII, 95). Thus, nothing in the body and psychic phenomena, or outside of them, can be regarded as the  self , the  self , the real individual. "Impersonality, non individuality, non-moi" is no different fromsuññata (emptiness, vacuité). "Selflessness" is also another view of causality ( paticca-samuppada ), which embraces the universe and makes all phenomena coherent and intimately interconnected. Nothing can be considered an entity separate from other entities.   However, beyond that purely theoretical aspect, there is another view of "selflessness." That is the view of monk Thanissaro, an American monk. According to Bhikkhu Thanissaro, in the Sutra there is a time when the Buddha was asked by a monk named Vacchagotta to ask, "Is there a self?", And the Buddha remained silent. Moreover, in the 3rd century BC, a school comes from Venerable Ministry ( Sthaviravada ), named  pudgalavada  (Personnalism), undertakings have an  I  subtlest include aggregates, heterogeneous, not different, not permanent, not extinct. Though isolated from that view, this school has survived for some time. Also, when re-reading the Sutra, the second Sutra preached by the Buddha, we see that  he does not negate  us , but always reiterates: "This is not  mine . This is not  me . " "Inattentive General" isanatta-lakkhana pali  . Lakkhana  is the general, appearance, form. As in the Diamond Sutra: "Pham pham phap phuc" (all forms are false, toute apparence est illusoire). Thus, through this sutra, the Buddha is wary of not thinking that this form belongs to  us , or to  us . Thus, the question is not whether there is a self or not, and according to Bhikkhu Thanissaro, it is understood that "selflessness" is  not self , not  without self . "  Non-self" must be understood as a lesson in practical application, a strategy (Strategie), a cultivation method, aiming to break the ego, clinging to what  we  psychologically, what sense  do . Actually, it is also true to say that "being selfless" in Buddhism is the same as saying "having self" in everyday life. Undeniable that people often instinctively that living, catering to the  do  by yourself: dress, work, play, rest, are for themselves. Since I was an infant (no sense what  I ), until about 1-2 years old mirror to identify himself, then grew up married, had children with her until death, as well is for me. The majority of "volition" ( cetana ) which are now  for  what  we and  for what  we , so ego usually accepted as normal, and is the main reason leading to suffering. So so Buddhism advised to abandon the ego that goes right in the spirit of "Four": if the origin of suffering is clinging to  me , all day worrying for the  us , they must renounce to reduce  ourselves , to open  ourselves , to open our minds to others, to the world around us, and to realize that we, like so many others, are closely related to each other by the law of " start "covering the universe. It is not a denial of one's  self  , it minimizes its place in our consciousness, greed, selfishness, trying to think of other people a little more and think of it. I'm a little less. Extend the life of the world and its universe, and see clearly its intimate union with the universe. Not to abolish, to reject the  self , to minimize a bit of attachment, to cling to  us , every day a little more. Anatta is not a truth, but a  method of  practicing liberation from suffering. Simply stated: the  more self-attachment, the more suffering, the less depressed, the less suffering .As much as accepting, that is to pull back time, the more suffering, but the more not accepted, that is to let go of time, the less suffering. Time (ie impermanence) is a law that is attached to all phenomena, which can not be avoided.There must be time to exist, there must be life to be impermanent. Thus it refers to " tilakkhana " ( les 3 sceaux, les 3 qualités des liens), " anatta ", " anicca " and " Suffering ( dukkha ), it is understood that: - "Suffering" is a feeling of a human being, a conscious being. - while "impermanence" is the law of time associated with all existence. - and "selflessness" is also a law that makes all beings in the universe interdependent. Suffering and self-attachment are the main causes of suffering, and  less attachment  and detachment  are the most effective means of alleviating suffering. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/11/2018.
