So then, non-self is a innacurate translation on part of the english language. What non-self actually means, is that nothing is independant. All things that exist only exist because they are made up of, and dependant upon, other things. Hence no-self, is no independant self, not oblivion. Boy, I wish more westerners could grasp that. More people need to understand this so we in the west will stop seeing Buddhism as Nihilistic and depressing. Id say its the single biggest turn-off we face here.

@TommyYongThiamHuat Please take care in how you describe anatta to non-Buddhists, or they could easily misunderstand. We do not need to *achieve* not-self...we need to *realize* the self-less nature of the five khandhas / skandhas...I hope you can see that people new to Buddhism might get scared away from how you put it...anyway, I know you mean well, so sorry if I seem critical...namaste :)

If anyone wants to know the true meaning of Emptiness please email me at tommy.yong@yahoo.com and I will sent you an ebook free.
Buddha says that we are the bonding between Body, Consciousness, Perception, Feelings and Mental Formation. These are the existence of an "I", "Self". So we need to achieve NO I or NO SELF , the atainment of Emptiness, Nirvana.
It's explain in detail in the ebook.

The master idea of emptiness is very much the same as Lao Tzi's idea of "wu".

Buddhists, it is commonly assumed, do not believe in a Creator. As far as I am aware, the Buddha himself didn't actually deny the existence of God, he just didn't think it was very helpful to ask the question. But is there anything in Buddhism comparable to God?

@bayreuth79 It is true that the concept of God exists in Buddhism. In fact, one time, the Buddha went to a Brahma Realm and had a conversation with a God. There was even a psychic battle between them. If you would like to know more about this, I invite you to read the Brahma-nimantanika Sutta: The Brahma Invitation. It is the Sutta #49 of the Majjhima Nikaya. If you prefer to listen to the audio (with commentary/explanation) instead, then google "The Invitation of a Brahma by Ajahn Brahm."
