Anatta: Not-Self | 2nd Teaching of the Buddha | Dhammagiri | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Anattā / Not-Self is one of the more difficult, even challenging aspects of the Dhamma. Even long term Buddhists often feel uncertain or even confused what exactly is meant by anattā.

If there's uncertainty on profound aspects of Dhamma, a wise approach is to go back to what exactly the Buddha has said himself about the topic. In the 'Anatta-lakkhaṇa-sutta' (Discourse on the Characteristic of Not-Self) we can find his own extensive elaboration.

Ajahn Dhammasiha guides us through essential passages of this
discourse.

He explains the diffence between 'No Self', which the Buddha actually never taught, and 'Not-Self', which the Buddha frequently taught.
