On my first trip to a monastery in Taiwan, I was told by a Monk, "You don't exist." As an attention grabber this was certainly powerful. I have never really got more than the most tenuous grip on the word Anatta, a Pali word in Buddhism, though I'm sure my anger feeds my ego and vice versa. Do you see non-self or not-self as being literally true at some level or do I really "not exist"?

Could you please explain in a little more detail how the second precept, not taking what is not given can be refined in order to do some deepening in the formal practice and in every day life.
