Hi,

Does this basically just mean that everything in existence, including ourselves, are constantly in the process of change and therefore nothing remains fixed from one moment to the next? Is this what the term 'non-self' means?

I've always struggled to understand the meaning of this word. Is it that we don't have a 'fixed', permanent self or identity?
