Dear Pali friends,

In Anguttara Nikaya vol. 1 (PTS), p. 161: "... pubb'eve kho pan' assa
attaa khato ca hoti upahato ca." (He own soul/self is already ruined,
completely ruined)

The meaning of this sentence is not clear. How can the person actually
ruin his own soul, if the Buddha teaches there is not-self in a person
but only a result of action?

Any idea, suggestion?

Thank you.
