So the mind is strong enough to kill the body, but the mind isn’t strong enough to cure the body? That doesn’t make sense lol

Anatta, (the non-existence of a Self) is one of the "Fundamental insights of the Buddha"? Utter Rubbish, in respect of how you contextualize this.The teaching of "Anatman", -Anatta in other words, had been taught in India for thousands of years, prior to Gotama's realization of the Atman, i.e, his attainment of Nibbana or the Imperishable State or Nature; or (equally) in 'Yogic terms', the "Akshara Purusha", the Immutable (i.e, the "Akshara") Self (i.e., the Purusha). Gotama "taught nothing new" and He very clearly stated this fact: he taught the Sanatana Dharma of the Ancient Rishis, in other words the Dhamma of the "Previous Buddhas". And nowhere in the whole of the Five Nikayas did Gotoma ever deny the (Supreme) Atman of the early Vedanta. He used "anatta", as an adjective, as in, the "Five Khandas" are "not (the) Self", in other words, the "not-Self" of the Upanishadic teaching of Neti Neti , or "Not this Not this", that is to say (the Path of Negation) whereby all phenomenal states, conditions, things, etal, are seen and known as being "not the Self" (therefore all compounded things are not the 'true Atman' or Atta), in their being compounded, and dependant,: but Gotama never denied the Soul, the real Atman or Atta, in other words the Tathata, or Buddha Nature itself,, the Nirvana Dhatu (i.e., Param Brahma) is the "Self", and obviously, to any person with some real intelligence, the self, is clearly not the Self, the Atta or Atman; or the ego, is clearly not the Buddha Nature. "Buddhists" like yourself do an injustice both to Gotama and the True Buddha Dharma, which you certainly are not teaching! And clearly, you possess no real understanding, of the Original Buddha Dharma. There are so many "self congratulatory narcissists", strutting regally in ochre robes, faining an aura of piety and fake spiritual accomplishment, truly sickening and despicable. When willl these Theravadins "get a clue": O Lord Buddha, help them see the true light and way of the true Buddha Dharma, as they cannot see to help themselves!
