Theory of no-self - Mugasetsu

Japanese: 無我説 - むがせつ
Theory of no-self - Mugasetsu
A unique Buddhist idea that holds that there is no fixed, substantial self (atman). In Sanskrit, it is called nairātmya‐vāda. In Indian orthodox Brahmanism, it was generally believed that there exists a self as the essence of the self, which is the bearer of karma and undergoes reincarnation through birth and death. The founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, opposed this theory of the existence of the self, and claimed that there is no substantial self in all phenomena, as stated in one of the Three Dharma Seals, "No Self in All Phenomena."

Japanese:
固定的実体的な自己(我,アートマンātman)は存在しないとみる仏教独自の思想。サンスクリットでナイラートミヤ・バーダnairātmya‐vāda。インドの正統バラモン教においては,一般に自己の本体としての我が存在し,それが業の担い手となって生死輪廻すると考えられていた。仏教の開祖釈尊はこの有我説に反対し,三法印の一つである〈諸法無我〉にうたわれているように,一切諸法には実体的我は存在しないと主張した。
