Talk #6: Anatta (no self) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anatta — literally "non-self" — is one of the three marks of existence in early Buddhist teaching, alongside dukkha and anicca (impermanence), which we'll cover next time.

Suffering (Dukkha) is to be Comprehended The Task: Acknowledge and understand. The Action: Instead of running away from pain, stress, or dissatisfaction, you look directly at it. You completely accept that suffering is a natural part of human existence without trying to numb or deny it.
