The Doctrine of No- Self in Buddhism

Buddhism is a great religion in the world was born in India so far, and it has existed and developed for thousands of years. Buddhism has made many contributions to the historical flow of human thought, especially the present life of living being. So, the Buddha’s words: “Dharma is the practical present without time…”. The Buddha attained enlightenment at the Bodhi tree, he preached the first Dhamma: The Four Noble Truth (Cattāri Ariyasaccāni) mentioned in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (the Discourse on Turning the Wheel of Dhamma).
After the five monks listened to the sermon on the Four Noble Truths, they all attained enlightenment. After that, the Buddha taught them the second sermon, the Sutra of Anatta.
The essence in the Buddha’s teachings is that “all conditioned things are impermanent (aniccā) , Suffering (dukkhā) ”, and “all phenomena (dhammas) are non-self (anattā)”. Therefore, there is a way (magga) of purification which the Buddha followed and others can similarly follow to reach a state free from sorrow. The path leading to the realization of Truth, Freedom, happiness, talks about the principle of Selflessness to eliminate the attachment to ego that is the basis of ignorance and afflictions, talking them further and achieving Arahantship, liberation from samsara is so called No-Self (anattā).
