Keywords:
Buddhism, aggregates, psyche, self, phenomenology, non-self, psychology, skandhas The mind is merely the movement of thoughts and memories, It has no nature, it is the dynamism of wind energy. Empty of essence, it is like space.Abstract
Understanding that the essential subject matter of psychology is not an object, thing or self-enclosed entity, this article presents the Buddhist psychology of non-self as a phenomenology of self-experiencing. Through the dizzying interaction of five psychic constituents (skandhas), emotional reactivity and mental fixation reify a self-entity where there is none.
