No Self

What does “No enduring self” mean?

There is no persistent entity that could have pre-existed; consciousness is a momentary process

The Buddhist anatta (no-self) doctrine: there is no permanent soul or essential self, and therefore the question of pre-existence is malformed. What we call 'self' is a continuous but impermanent process of momentary mental events. Causally, prior moments produce later ones (justifying the language of rebirth), but there is no enduring entity that travels.
