The Different Paths of Buddhism: A Narrative-Historical Introduction. All phenomenal existence is said to have three interlocking characteristics: impermanence, suffering and lack of soul or essence. Philologist Christopher Beckwith has identified the three terms used here by Pyrrho - adiaphora, astathmēta, and anepikrita - to be nearly direct translations of anatta, dukkha, and anicca into ancient Greek. Rather, we should be adoxastoi (without views), aklineis (uninclined toward this side or that), and akradantoi (unwavering in our refusal to choose), saying about every single one that it no more is than it is not or it both is and is not or it neither is nor is not." Therefore, neither our sense-perceptions nor our doxai (views, theories, beliefs) tell us the truth or lie so we certainly should not rely on them. "Whoever wants to live well ( eudaimonia) must consider these three questions: First, how are pragmata (ethical matters, affairs, topics) by nature? Secondly, what attitude should we adopt towards them? Thirdly, what will be the outcome for those who have this attitude?" Pyrrho's answer is that "As for pragmata they are all adiaphora (undifferentiated by a logical differentia), astathmēta (unstable, unbalanced, not measurable), and anepikrita (unjudged, unfixed, undecidable). Pyrrho summarized his philosophy as follows: Upon returning to Greece Pyrrho founded one of the major schools of Hellenistic philosophy, Pyrrhonism, which he based on what appears to have been his interpretation of the Three marks of existence. The Greek philosopher Pyrrho traveled to India with Alexander the Great's army, spending approximately 18 months there learning Indian philosophy from the Indian gymnosophists.

Correspondence with Pyrrhonism Part of a series on The teaching of three marks of existence in the Pali Canon is credited to the Buddha. 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. As a consequence, dissolving that ignorance through direct insight into the three marks is said to bring an end to saṃsāra and, as a result, to that suffering ( dukkha nirodha or nirodha sacca, as described in the third of the Four Noble Truths). a failure to grasp directly) 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 suffering. In Buddhism, ignorance of ( avidyā, or moha i.e. Religious studies scholar Alexander Wynne calls anattā a "not-self" teaching rather than a "no-self" teaching. Some Buddhist traditions and scholars, however, interpret the anatta doctrine to be strictly in regard to the five aggregates rather than a universal truth. The Anattā doctrine of Buddhism denies that there is anything called a 'Self' in any person or anything else, and that a belief in 'Self' is a source of Dukkha. The phrase "s abbe dhamma anatta" includes within its scope each skandha (aggregate, heap) that compose any being, and the belief "I am" is a mark of conceit which must be destroyed to end all dukkha. Thus, nirvana too is a state of "without Self" or anatta. While anicca and dukkha apply to "all conditioned phenomena" (saṅkhārā), anattā has a wider scope because it applies to all dhammās without "conditioned, unconditioned" qualification. nirvana - "The joy of completely extinguishing our ideas and concepts, rather than suffering, is one of the Three Dharma Seals."Īnatta (Sanskrit anatman) refers to the doctrine of "non-self", that there is no unchanging, permanent Self or soul in living beings and no abiding essence in anything or phenomena.Here nirvana replaces dukkha as the Third Dharma Seal: In the Samyukta Agama a different formulation is made, in which the Buddha taught impermanence, nonself, and nirvana as the Three Dharma Seals. nirvāṇa is peaceful/peace (śānta/śānti).all phenomena are without self (anātman).all contaminated phenomena are suffering (duḥkha).all compounded phenomena are impermanent (anitya).In the sutra "The Questions of the Nāga King Sāgara" Sāgaranāgarājaparipṛcchā these four marks are defined as: In the Mahayana Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra however, four characteristics are described instead of three: sabbe dhammā anattā - "all dharmas (conditioned or unconditioned things) are not self".sabbe saṅkhārā dukkhā - "all saṅkhāras are unsatisfactory".sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā - "all saṅkhāras (conditioned things) are impermanent".
