The Buddha's Teaching on Not Self ~ Anattalakkhana Sutta - Pali Buddhism

The Anattalakkhaṇa Sutta (Pali) or Anātmalakṣaṇa Sūtra
(Sanskrit), is traditionally recorded as the second discourse
delivered by Gautama Buddha. The title translates to the
"Not-Self Characteristic Discourse", but is also known as the
Pañcavaggiya Sutta (Pali) or Pañcavargīya Sūtra (Skt.), meaning
the "Group of Five" Discourse. In this discourse, the Buddha
analyzes the constituents of a person's body and mind (khandha)
and demonstrates that they are each impermanent (anicca), subject
to suffering (dukkha) and thus unfit for identification with a
"self" (attan). Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
