Buddhist Translations |

Buddhist Wisdom |

The Buddha followed this way so radically and with so much success, that whatever is cognizable revealed itself to him as anatta. He says: "You teach the atta, but I teach what the atta is not. You speak about the atta, but I speak of anatta; in short, you have the... |
