"Selflessness is not a case of something that existed in the past becoming nonexistent. Rather this sort of "self" is something that never did exist. What is needed is to identify as non-existent something that always was non-existent ...

(pg.98)

~ "Selflessness," Mark Epstein and HH Dalai Lama in Thoughts Without a Thinker
