Theology: Buddhism

The tradition founded on the teaching of the Buddha (c. 5th century BC): impermanence, no fixed self, the arising and ceasing of suffering. The Milindapanha's lamp image (neither the same flame nor a different one) belongs here.

RENAISSANCE 3.0 POSITION: the self as a flame passed on, read alongside Heraclitus and Lucretius in Caring like a Fire.
