If she means what her words are commonly taken to in conjunction mean, and I believe that to be not far from the case, then not only do I contend that she is mistaken, but I have, on this list, previously posted a critique of her no-self stance, from both the theoretical and the "history of the evolution of scientific contention (Kuhnian)" stances, as well as posting what I consider a more palatable alternative, of self as dynamically recursive system, beneath the integral categories of one and many, and although not a thing, not nothing either, as well as a phenomenological and genetic epistemological justification for this position which remain unrefuted.
