The Concept of No-Self in Buddhist Rebirth
Buddhism offers a unique perspective on reincarnation through anatta (no-self). Unlike Hinduism’s eternal soul concept, Buddhism teaches identity constantly changes—we’re not the same person from moment to moment. What transfers between lives isn’t an unchanging self but continuity of cause and effect. The Buddha compared it to lighting one candle from another—the new flame isn’t the original yet directly continues from it.
