The Three Lakshanas:
"All conditioned things are impermanent...
All things whatsoever are devoid of unchanging selfhood...
All conditioned things are painful.
When one sees this with Insight,
One becomes weary of suffering:
This is the way to purity."
This is an excellent three-part series on the three lakshanas - or 'marks' of conditioned existence - as observed by the Buddha. Together, Jnanaketu, Abhaya and Saddhaloka, take a good look around the nature of reality as we typically experience it. The crucial insights explored point the way to a more meaningful engagement with our lives, and, indeed, offer material for a lifetime's worth of reflection.
