Selfless Persons

Imagery and Thought in Theravada Buddhism

by Steven Collins

A classic study of the doctrine of not-self in Theravada Buddhism, examining how the tradition reconciled the denial of a permanent self with ordinary talk of persons, karma and rebirth. Collins pays close attention to the imagery used in the Pali texts.
