| Anatta has often been translated as no-self. But this is not the point. Non-clinging is the point. And natta's also translated as inclined. Anatta means uninclined. The Buddha's unity of method and wisdom is that mind which is not going, not coming, not inclining toward this or that, including, but not focused upon, "I am." Anatta is more about craving, than about the view of voidness of persons or things. The Buddha's teaching is about the destruction of craving, or, not inclining toward... not fixed, not movable, without support, peaceful, beyond reasoning, everlasting, not-born, the unproduced, stainless, bliss. |
