English	The selflessness and emptiness realized in the context of the sixteen aspects is a realization of merely the lack of a self that is imputed by non-Buddhists. This is not sufficient to be the remedy to the innate apprehension of self that apprehends an intrinsically existent person. Therefore, the remedy to this is necessarily to realize the lack of intrinsic nature of persons[p.79]The Profound Reality of Interdependence Duckworth, Douglas S., trans. The Profound Reality of Interdependence: An Overview of the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva. By Künzang Sönam. New York: Oxford University Press, 2019. (the selflessness of persons) in the way that the aggregates and so on lack intrinsic existence (the selflessness of phenomena). Without this understanding, as long as form is apprehended to be truly existent, the apprehension of the person as truly existent will persist as well. As long as that persists, there is no removal of the afflictions, so it is impossible to be liberated from existence. It is stated in the Introduction to the Middle Way:

Anātman - The Buddhist teaching of "non-self" or "selflessness"—the understanding that there is no permanent, unchanging self or soul within living beings. Along with impermanence (anitya) and suffering (duḥkha), it is one of the three marks of existence that characterize all conditioned phenomena. Skt अनात्मन्  Tib བདག་མེད་པ་  Ch 无我

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment.
