Buddha The non self:

-Buddhism emphasizes "anatman" or "non-self," rejecting the idea of a permanent soul or essence in individuals. -Hinduism, in contrast, believes in "atman," an eternal self, part of the universal essence "brahman." -Buddhism's non-attachment strategy involves recognizing impermanence in the five changing factors (skandhas) that constitute an individual. -Western culture often prioritizes self-importance, but Buddhism sees the concept of self as a mistaken belief and promotes the idea of non-self. -Five skandhas in Buddhism: form, perception, conception, volition, and consciousness, temporarily uniting to form an individual being. -Authentic happiness, according to Buddhism, comes from transitioning from a focus on self to a state of non-self and realizing the delusional nature of personal identity. -Buddhism teaches the ultimate goal of nirvana, a state of total liberation and renunciation of attractions and desires.
