Non-selfhood refers to the Buddhist concept that there is no permanent, unchanging self or soul. It teaches that all phenomena, including the self, are impermanent and interconnected, leading to the belief that the self is an ever-changing construct rather than a fixed entity. Practicing non-selfhood helps individuals let go of ego attachment and reduce suffering by understanding the transient nature of existence.

The abstract noun of "self" is "selfhood," which refers to the quality or state of being oneself.
