The document discusses the Buddhist concept of anattā or non-self. It explains that according to Buddhism, nothing has a static, unchanging essence. People are constantly changing from moment to moment. We are merely a "stream" of constant change and becoming, without an inherent, independent self. All things arise temporarily due to conditional, interdependent causes and lack inherent existence on their own. Realizing this state of egolessness and emptiness is part of the Buddhist path to enlightenment.

1. The Concept of Non-self in Buddhism
The concept of anattā (non-self or absence of separate self) in Buddhism has
always been the main subject of confusion among the followers. Now, let us
analyse into it. Simply it means, ‘Now you see it, now you don't.’ This is what
the concept of emptiness in Buddhism is all about – the absence of static entity.
Nothing stays unchanging even for a slightest moment at all times. By the time
you think who you are, you are already not the same ‘you’ seconds ago. So
where are you to find the original static of ‘you’ as you assume along every
passing of moments?
At the end of the day, you could only see a stream of you constantly passing by on
every slightest moment. So I repeat, you could only see a stream of you - not the
one stop entity of you. Just like you could not step twice into the same river; for
other waters are ever flowing on to you. The stream of you would mean you are
part of the becoming processes that arise in the nature. All the different shapes
and forms that exist in the nature are merely the momentary outcomes of the
constant and the continuous becoming processes in the realms of existence.
Under a balanced phenomenon, one could witness the emergence of forms; under
an imbalanced phenomenon, one could witness the non-emergence of forms - and
the cycle of conditional phenomena continues repeatedly.
In addition, the stream of you is devoid of inherent existence. It means that you
do not exist independently by the definition of the physical container that you
always presume to be. You are merely the results of energy or matter orientation
that evolve constantly and continuously in the space at all times. In other words,
you are just like part of the Lego pieces or bricks that can be assembled and
connected in many ways, to construct such objects as vehicles, buildings, and
even working robots - anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the
pieces used to make other objects. When one is fully awakened to the principle of
emptiness or non-self, the state of egolessness in oneself would arise
concurrently. This realisation is part of the fundamental routes to enlightenment
as prescribed by the Buddha.
