How to use "Self" in context?
"self" is an important concept in both Hindu and Buddhist thought, as it is at the crux of the individual's identity and freedoms. In Hinduism, self is innate, eternal, and Brahman-like. It is the seat of the soul and a repository of all knowledge and experiences. In Buddhism, self is the totality of a person's personality, sensory experiences, and mental objects. It is conceived as an evolving process, reaching a state of perfect enlightenment.
