2. Because we are designated our name,
Self arises and Self-grasping is strengthen,
Self-centered mind like arrogance, greed, attachment
and destructive emotions like anger, hatred, fear,
jealousy, sorrow arise,jealousy, sorrow arise,
so we suffer from these disturbing mind.

3. What if we aren't designated our name?
Because Self doesn't arise,
we are only the combination of body and mind,
we become social animals with no reason,
such as ants and beessuch as ants and bees
which live only by instincts and emotions.

4. Because we become Selflessness,
Self-grasping won't be strengthen,
Self-centered mind and destructive emotions
will hardly arise, therefore we won't suffer from
disturbing mind any more,disturbing mind any more,
and we will be unintentionally modest,
then we will be able to live with joy,
however we won't be honorable humans with reason
any longer. That's not good, isn't it?

5. So, if we want to live happily as humans,
we have to be able to control our disturbing mind
by all means.
What can control our disturbing mind then?
That's not what other animals have,That's not what other animals have,
but something peculiar to humans.
That's the 'Reason' arisen by 'Consciousness' which is
convinced of the ultimate truth of 'Interdependence'.
Reason means the universal moral ethics or compassion.

6. Once we are convinced of interdependence,
we become Selflessness or Emptiness,
so our Self-grasping will be weakened,
and our Self-centered mind and destructive emotions
will rarely arise.will rarely arise.
At the same time, reason such as compassion,
warm-heart and gentleness will arise,
and we will have calm mind always.

7. As a result,
we will be healthy mentally and physically,
and will see the reality through holistic view,
will take realistic approaches,
will have normal function of intelligence,will have normal function of intelligence,
will have meaningful life
and will be happy.

8. Therefore, Buddhism does not accept Self,
something that is independent of physical and
mental properties of being. (Buddhism does not accept
independent Self but accepts interdependent Self.)
Instead, Buddhism defines ‘I’Instead, Buddhism defines ‘I’
as 'the mere designation to the being' .
< the being = the continuum of consciousness =
the combination of subtle body and subtle mind>
