The Three Marks of Existence are sometimes known as the Three Universal Truths. They are:

• Anicca (impermanence) - This means instability, or a lack of permanence.
• Dukkha (dissatisfaction) - This means that everything leads to suffering.
• Anatta (no soul) - This means no soul and is the idea that people can and do change in life.

Anicca is concerned with how resilient a Buddhist is. It encourages Buddhists to accept death and suffering as a part of life. Buddhists accept that everything changes, things are not permanent and everything is temporary.

Dukkha is belief in three types of suffering. They are:

1. Ordinary suffering, which includes emotional, physical and mental suffering and pain.
2. Suffering through change (viparinama-dukkha), which is linked to anicca, which is concerned with the suffering that happens through ordinary life and the impermanence of things.
3. Suffering through dissatisfaction or attachment (samkhara-dukkha), which refers to suffering because of being attached to objects, people and the things you do in life.

Anatta - Buddhists believe that there is no permanent self or soul. Because there is no unchanging permanent essence or soul, Buddhists sometimes talk about energy being reborn, rather than souls.
