Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for The Buddha and his belief

The Buddha will not hold the view that the 5 aggregates or 6 sense bases is self hence free from identity views. The right understanding of Anatta is non self or not self or nothing worthy of identifying as self, etc. and not "no self" like posted in many places in the internet. The implication of this is 5 aggregates or 6 sense bases as whole or in part is not self than there is no one there which leads to logical fallacies like "I am not here because there is no self" or "There is no Buddha because there is no self". The reasoning should be in the line of "my eye is not self". In the context of the 6 sense bases see Cha Chakka Sutta which explain this clearly.
