What are Atta and Anatta?A1. Atta is the thought, the belief, that there is a self, as opposed to others and things. Anatta is the right understanding that all are only specific realities that arise and fall away, including the Citta, (the mind or the soul). Nothing lasts in reality, but for the shortest moment. Even a mountain changes momentarily, like your own hand at the moment: the cells are always evolving, the atoms, the electrons, the quarks are in eternal motion at all times.
