Curiously, at page 3, Buddhadasa is doing a very detailed explanation about atta and anatta. In zen we are told, for this same purpose, that a rose is not a rose because it is a rose. This last rose is very different as the first one. The first rose is understood by the atta doctrine explained at first by Buddhadasa, then the second rose is the rose of the Nihilists, so then comes the last Rose, the one which the Buddha twirled passing on the silent teaching to the very first Zen ancestor, Mahakashapa.
