I don't know about the Christian meaning, but in Buddhism, it means the following: The concept of Annata is central to Buddhist teachings. Clingling to the self gives your "atman" (soul) unhappiness. The true self, is the atman. The way of not-self is an approach to gaining release for the cycle of suffering, which is to say in simple terms, being reborn into this world. To be your true self and only your true self, one would have to detach themselves from worldly possessions, feelings, perceptions, and even consciousness. It is the belief that these are all factors in the endless cycle of suffering. Nirvana is the state of freeing oneself from the cycle of suffering. Do not confuse nirvana with Enlightenment. Enlightenment is a greater level of a developed self, on that is self-controlled and self-contained. An enlightened person could control and guard his senses and has a developed and steadfast mind and body. Hope this helps!
