Core -- Non-Core
Buddhism's Three Marks of Existence
Impermanence (anicca);
Suffering, not satisfying, misdirection (dukkha);
Non-self (anattā)
Setting aside your personal
beliefs, ideas, thinking, feelings, and senses,
Your subjective experience includes
Impermanence: always changing
Suffering: not too happy, not satisfied by your current experience, torn between setting aside and being
Non-self: no permanent center, container, controller or owner
