Dependent upon your memories, imaginations, and your present experience. To them the self was like a chariot. A chariot is a name we give to define the set of features that comprise a chariot, a apple, pole, yoke, etc. similarly the self is a name we give a person to comprise the features of head, brain, arms, mind, etc. but there is no one essence that defines the self. **Suffering comes from attachment with the self which is impermanent.** Dis attachment with the self is fundamental to reaching nirvana.
