This talk explores the notion of no-self as it relates to the Buddhist teaching. The American Theravada Buddhist monk, Thanissaro Bhikkhu and the abbot of the Metta Forest Monastery in San Diego County said that there is a common misperception that is attributed to the Buddha. That “There is no self” is in fact the granddaddy of fake Buddhist quotes and it has survived so long because it resembles the teaching on Anatta, or not-self, which was one of the Buddha’s tools for putting an end to clinging.
