Dear Sumano, Chanida and Ruwan,

let me remind everyone that such discussion can easily go
out-of-topic. The concept of 'anatta' is very profound and is unique
to Buddhadhamma. Not everyone can fully comprehend it, especially if a
person has previously acquired some presuppositions. However, it is
fine (in fact, more than fine) for someone not to fully understand
'anatta'. It takes time, and is not a pure matter of faith.

metta,
Yong Peng.

Mrs. Rys-Davids rejection of "anatta" is usually attributed to the
loss of her young child.
Apparently, she couldn't accept that there was no "soul" or something
that continued on.
