The Buddhist theory of No-Self (Anātman or Anattā) is the core doctrine that there's no permanent, unchanging essence, soul, or self (Ātman) within individuals or phenomena, contrasting with Hindu beliefs.
Instead, a person is a temporary, ever-changing collection of five aggregates (skandhas): form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness, all interdependent and impermanent, leading to suffering if clung to, but recognizing this illusion frees one from attachment and fosters compassion.
