The Three Universal Truths

Buddha started on a life of teaching. He wanted to help others become enlightened, and to be free of suffering. Some of his most important teachings were called the 3 universal truths

Annica (everything changes)

  • Everything in the whole universe is linked and is interdependent.

  • Things are always changing, so if conditions are right, they come into existence, if conditions change they cease.

  • Life on earth depends on air, water and the sun - if any of those things change human life will cease

Anatta (no permanent self)

  • Nobody stays the same form birth to death

  • Your mind, body and personality change

  • Some things happen by chance, others by choice

  • If you have a fixed view of yourself, you will suffer because things change

Dukkha (suffering)

  • Life can never satisfy us because everything changes

  • Even having everything we think we want will not satisfy

  • This is why people look for something else
