二見

In Buddhism, there are two views on No-self. 'Self' means the self-nature ( 自性 ).

Firstly, ordinary people do not understand the emptiness of the Five Skandhas, thus believe in the existence of independent and self-controlled 'self'. It is known as the view of being-self ( 人我見 ).

Similarly, ordinary people insist to have a real substratum and function for Dharmas, as they arise from the causal conditions. In reality, a Dharma has no self-nature. It is known as the view of Dharma-self ( 法我見 ).
