Three Marks of Existence

The Three Marks of Existence (impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self) are Buddhism's basic description of reality (life is continually changing and cannot be controlled by anyone). Impermanence is the essential mark of existence because it applies to everything around us, all aspects of life, movement of the universe, and inanimate objects, which is continuously reminding us powerlessness of our existence. Unsatisfactoriness is the principle that there is always dissatisfaction in life or general discomfort in life. Not-self is the identity of the person and thinking of self is merely an illusion.
