Anatta and buddhist expansion

Reference no: EM13139664

The psychology of the principles behind the Noble Eightfold Path allows students to understand what the eight paths mean and how they are meant to be viewed. The doctrine of anatta, which concerns the original Buddhist view that the soul is as impermanent as all other things in the universe, also can be explained through the notion of flux. It concludes with the way Buddhism expands from its homeland in India into Central, East and Southeast Asia.

This should be read in conjunction with the discussion elsewhere in this Library entitled "Making Sense of Buddhism".
