Neither Being nor Person ...

[Bhikkhu Samahita]

Friends:

No Being exists apart from Mentality-Materiality...

There is no "person" neither inside, nor outside the duality of Name-and-Form:
Feeling, perception, mental construction and consciousness defines all Mentality. 
The 4 primary elements: Solidity, fluidity, heat & motion defines all Materiality.
After defining mentality-materiality one can leave the common concept "a being"
and "a person" more thoroughly, since these now are seen more realistically as
compounded accumulated collections of mentality-&-materiality, name-&-form...
Strictly speaking: This is mere mentality-materiality, there is no being, no person!

As the Blessed Buddha expressed it at various levels of generalization:
As with the assembly of parts, the designation "car" emerges as conceptualized,
So, when the 5 clusters of clinging are present, "a being" is named by convention...
SN I 135

Just as when a part of space is enclosed with timber & bricks, there comes to be
the term "house", so too, when a space is enclosed with bones, sinews, flesh, fat
and skin, there comes into being the designation "body". MN I 190

It is ill (Dukkha)  alone that arises, ill that remains, ill that vanishes!
Nothing else than ill arises, and nothing else than ill ceases...SN I 135

This is mere mentality-materiality, there is no being, no person, no substance!

On the Impersonality and ego-lessness of all phenomena: No-Self (Anattā):
Ego-Projection, First I-dentification then Enmity!, Ego-Projection,
Who_or_what_is_the_Agent, The Egoless, The Anatta Doctrine, Anatta No Self,
I-dentification, No_Agent_is_Inside, Just_Passing_Bubbles, Selfless &_Harmless,
Empty_of_What, The_Smoke_of_Self, Neither_Agent_nor_Actor, Not_Yours,
Experiencing_Egolessness, Cause_of_Identity_View, The_Selfless_Camera,

Have a nice day!

 
Friendship is the Greatest!
