Three characteristics of existence
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

three characteristics of existence; trilakṣaṇa tilakkhaṇa three characteristics of existence. Impermanence (anitya) anicca, Suffering (duḥkha) dukkha and non-self (anātma) anattā are The Three Characteristics of Existence.
trilakṣaṇa (Sanskrit; Pāli, tilakkhaṇa). The three characteristics or marks of all conditioned phenomena. They are impermanence (anitya), suffering (duḥkha), and absence of self (anātman). Although separate, they are also interrelated: it is because things are impermanent that they involve suffering, and it is a corollary of their impermanence that they have no enduring self or core. The implications of the three marks are set out in the first two of the Four Noble Truths.
