To understand Buddha's teaching on Anatta you have to look at the broader picture, most people mistakenly think it's ' No self ' if you think it's so then it's difficult to understand rebirth/karma.
There are lots of teachings/Suttas regarding ' True self '. Here are a few if anyone's interested to delve a bit more.
Buddha, in some of his most deep-reaching sutras - such as the Tathagata-garbha Sutra, the Srimaladevi Sutra, the Surangama Sutra, and the Mahaparinirvana Sutra (amongst others) - insists that this teaching of the "Buddha-Principle" within all beings is ultimate Truth and must not be rejected.
Those who abandon the teaching given in this sutra concerning the tathagata-garbha [i.e. the Buddha-Essence in beings or True Self] are just like cattle.
