Editing Three marks of existence (section)

==Application==
In Buddhism, ignorance ([[Avidyā (Buddhism)|''avidyā'']], or [[Moha (Buddhism)|''moha'']]; i.e. a failure to grasp directly) of the three marks of existence is regarded as the first link in the overall process of ''[[saṃsāra]]'' whereby a being is subject to repeated existences in an endless cycle of dukkha. As a consequence, dissolving that ignorance through [[Vipassanā|direct insight]] into the three marks is said to bring an end to ''saṃsāra'' and, as a result, to that ''dukkha'' (''dukkha nirodha'' or ''nirodha sacca'', as described in the third of the [[Four Noble Truths]]).

[[Gautama Buddha]] taught that all beings conditioned by causes (''saṅkhāra'') are impermanent (''anicca'') and suffering (''dukkha''), and that not-self (''anattā'') characterises all ''dhammas'', meaning there is no "I", "me", or "mine" in either the conditioned or the unconditioned (i.e. ''nibbāna'').<ref>Nārada, The Dhammapada (1978), pp. 224.</ref><ref>{{cite book|first=Bhikkhu|last=Bodhi|year=2003|title=The Connected Discourses of the Buddha: A Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya|page=1457|publisher=Wisdom Publications|location=Somerville, MA|isbn=978-0-86171-331-8}}</ref> The teaching of three marks of existence in the Pali Canon is credited to the Buddha.<ref name=Gombrich2008p209/><ref>Dhammapada Verses 277, 278 and 279.</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Joaquín Pérez Remón |title=Self and Non-self in Early Buddhism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OQ6svBmxAhEC |year=1980|publisher=Walter de Gruyter |isbn=978-90-279-7987-2 |pages=210–225}}</ref>
