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.

trilakṣaṇa (tilakkhaṇa) three characteristics of existence. Impermanence (anitya) (anicca), suffering (duḥkha) (dukkha) and non-self (anātma) (anattā) are the three characteristics of existence.
