Three Characteristics: Not Self

This is the third talk on the three characteristics of life. The first being change. Getting closer to change opens the door in a way to the second characteristic of dissatisfaction. This second characteristic holds within it the third characteristic which is the focus of this talk.

The characteristics of conditioned existence being dissatisfying and that their is an absence of self, become evident as a consequence of directly experiencing the truth of impermanence.

The Buddha taught that whatever is impermanent cannot provide lasting satisfaction and doesn’t qualify as I, me, mine or myself.
