On my first trip to a monastery in Taiwan, I was told by a Monk, "You don't exist." As an attention grabber this was certainly powerful. I have never really got more than the most tenuous grip on the word Anatta, a Pali word in Buddhism, though I'm sure my anger feeds my ego and vice versa. Do you see non-self or not-self as being literally true at some level or do I really "not exist"?
