what exactly do you mean by 'when all phenomena are not self'? Please explain yourself sir.

'All phenomena' refers to the five aggregates of form(body), feelings, perceptions, fabrications/intentions and consciousness. And why are the five aggregates not-self? Because none of them stays constant. They are fleeting and fickle. What is fleeting and fickle is undesirable and stressful. What is fleeting and fickle, undesirable and stressful cannot be the self. That is why they are not-self.
