From the highest to the lowest forms and phenomena of nature, nothing can be found which is truly a self, that is, a lasting, separate, individual being.

All things – except for Nibbāna – are transient, conditioned, inherently unstable, and liable to decay. Thus, everything is not-self (anattā) and void of inherent selfhood.
