The
basic teaching of Buddhism is the teaching of transcendence or change.
Everything changes is the basic teaching and this truth is eternal truth for
each existence. No one can deny this truth. All the teaching of
Buddhism can be condensed into this teaching. This is the teaching for all of us
and wherever we go this teaching is true. This teaching is also interpreted as
the teaching of selflessness because our self nature, that of each existence is
nothing but the self nature of all existence.
