Explanation

The belief that nothing has a ‘self’ or ‘soul’ and that there is nothing fixed about who we are.

Context

The idea that people have no changing, immortal self or soul (anatta), is one of the three “marks of existence” in Buddhism. A person’s mind is no more than a series of fleeting thoughts. Our thoughts are continually flowing and always changing. Buddhists believe that it is only this stream of thoughts that will be reborn in a new body.
