Anatta (no-self doctrine)
Reincarnation (death-rebirth cycle in samsara)

How can something that doesn't exist reincarnate?

user17097: In very simple terms, "Anatta" implies that a self does not exist. It does not imply that nothing exists.
'Re-incarnation' is a continuing process. The phenomena that appear as a self is what continues.
