Anatta & reincarnation

Question

Buddhism

1. Anatta (no-self doctrine)
2. Reincarnation (death-rebirth cycle in samsara)

How can something that doesn't exist reincarnate?

Answer 1

In very simple terms, "Anatta" implies that a self does not exist. It does not imply that nothing exists. 'Re-incarnation' is a continuing process. The phenomena that appear as a self is what continues.
