Ham,

It is my understanding that Buddhists accept that self exists by the 
power of conceptual and/or verbal designation.  It exists conventionally.

Long before I came to his forum I understood the body to have six 
tools:  sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and mind.   My reading of 
the Buddhist's point-of-view has strengthened my understanding.

Again, I apologize for my rudeness.
