Ajahn Jayasaro statement is noct convincing because it begins with the assumption that there is nothing permanent upon which experiences register.

Conversely, some systems of thought and realization begins with the premise that there is a self and then these system provide supports or suggestions for such an assertion.

In both cases, that of there being a permanent self and that of there not being any such feature, the proof is hard to come by.

Ajahn Jayasaro's statement begins with a declaration where there is a sarcasm to people who think there is a self or who believe in a self. This declaration that such persons are unenlightened. This is not such a good approach to this discussion.

The fact that the sense of self is created from moment to moment as he states is not evidence that there is no permanent or underlying self around which experiences happen. His statement is brash to say the least.

However the fact that he did meditation research and did not find a permanent anything, is reason to respect his conclusions and appreciate his dedication to the topic.
