'anatman
(Skt.; Pali, anatta).
Non-self, the absence of self (atman); the key Buddhist doctrine that both the individual and objects are devoid of any unchanging, eternal, or autonomous substratum. It is one of the three ?marks? (laksana) or attributes of all compounded phenomena (the other two being anitya and duhkha). Some Buddhist schools, such as the Vatsiputriya and the tradition associated with the Nirvana Sutra, did accept the existence of some form of the self, often identified with Buddha-nature.'
