= an ❌ Argument of Non-Self (Buddhism)

1. 💪 Rūpa is impermanent:
   • all the parts of the body are constantly being replaced—at the level of the molecules that make up our cells
2. Vedana is impermanent:
   • feelings fade away, ⚾ Dependent Origination
3. 👁️ Samjna is impermanent:
   • the mind is an illusion
4. 🥶 Samskara is impermanent:
   • numerically distinct desires, caused by ⚾ Dependent Origination
   • 🪶 Principle of Lightness -> favorable over In-the-closest argument
5. 🧠 Vijnana is impermanent:
   • Consciousness originates in dependence on sense-object contact (= ⚾ Dependent Origination)
6. If there were a self it would be permanent
7. (Implicit premise): The five Skandhas are exhaustive

-> Conclusion: Therefore there is no self
