Do you experience presence of self now? Many of us have been trying hard to understand the Dhamma which essentially teaches impermanence,unsatisfactoriness &amp; nonself.
Buddha famously did not give answer to Vacchagotta's direct question "Is there a self ?" However Buddha definitely said that "all phenomenon are nonself".

Suppose I ask you : Do you experience presence of self now?

What would be the honest reply?
I think that a Buddhist answer is &quot;There's nothing that should be viewed as self&quot;.
For example I experience (or &quot;there is a perception/recognition of&quot;) &quot;looking at the computer screen&quot;, however &quot;looking at the computer screen&quot; shouldn't be viewed as &quot;self&quot; ... it's not permanent.
The &quot;Anatta-lakkhana Sutta: The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic (SN 22.59)&quot; is maybe the most famous sutta about &quot;anatta&quot;, but my favourite is the &quot;Alagaddupama Sutta -- The Discourse on the Snake Simile (MN 22)&quot; which I mentioned in this answer, i.e.:

there was no view of self that would not lead to suffering

Or in more detail:

Bhikshus, you may well cling to the self-doctrine that would not cause sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair to arise in one who clings to it. But do you see any such possession, bhikshus?”
“No, bhante.”
“Good, bhikshus. I, too, do not see any doctrine of self that would not arouse sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair in one who clings to it.
