Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for How is it wrong to believe that a self exists, or that it doesn't?

You should not believe or hold a view that:

• there is a self
• there is not self

But whatever you consider as self is not worthy of being called self as:

• you cannot control it to your will
• it is impermanent

Since if you take a being as parts in terms of the 5 aggregates or 6 faculties each part which constitute a being is not self. E.g. the eye is not self, what you see is not self, what you feel is not self, your corporeal body is not self, etc.
