니까야에 나타나는 무아(anattan)의 용례와 의미 = On the Usages and the Meaning of Anattan in Nikāyas

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is based on the result of the search about the usages of selflessness or anattan appearing in Nikāyas with the program Digital Pali Reader. Through this work, I want to clarify what Buddha's original intention was in teaching selflessness or anattan. The common use of Selflessness or anattan is the singular nominative form or the first case which is anattā. In this case, anattā is characterized grammatically as the subject in a sentence, but it is actually being used as the descriptive noun. “Material phenomenon (色) is anattā.” and “Eye (眼) is anattā.” are examples of sentences which use anattā as descriptive nouns in Nikāyas. Anattā, which is used as a descriptive noun, has only a passive meaning or passive voice construction because it is used to deny self-identity.
The primary object negated by the expression of anattā or selflessness is usually regarded as attā or self. In fact, however, the focus of anattā is not on selflessness, but on denial of identity with ‘I’ or ahaṃ from the five khandas or empirical elements like body (色), feelings(受), perceptions(想), etc. For example, there are many passages that describe khandhas or empirical elements as not mine or mama, not ‘I’ or ahaṃ, not myself or me attā. This study has its own significance in that it identifies that the actual meaning of anattā is the denial of the identity with ‘I’ from the empirical elements in Nikāyas instead of selflessness.
