	The Essentials of Buddha Dhamma in Meditative Practice
		Anicca, Dukkha, Anatta — Impermanence, suffering and Egolessness — are the three essential characteristics of things in the Teaching of the Buddha.

	The Experience of Impermanence
		Anicca is a word-indicator that points to a fact of reality beyond any concept: the ceaseless transformation of all material in the universe.
		For a twentieth-century scientist, anicca is an immersion into the factual reality of biology, chemistry, and physics-the atomic and molecular universe-as if, after years of reading cookbooks, one at last could acknowledge that one is the cookie in question.
		The experience of anicca is the place to plunge in and be turned into a fish, a wave, a fleck of foam on the surging expanse of life-itself.

	Anicca - Buddhist Encyclopedia
		Anicca (Impermanence), is one of the Three Characteristics.
		In the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra, all compounded, constructed things and states are said to be impermanent - but to say the same of Nirvana and the Buddha (the personalisation of Nirvana) is to commit a gross error in understanding and to fall into harmful misperception of truth (as discussed in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra).
		Anicca is intimately associated with the philosophy of anatta.

	ANICCA
		The comprehending of anicca leads automatically to a grasp of anatta and dukkha,and whosoever realises these facts naturally turns to the path that leads out of suffering.
		Given the crucial importance of anicca, it is not surprising the Buddha repeatedly stressed its significance for the seekers of liberation.
		The priceless legacy of the Buddha to the world is the understanding of anicca as a means to liberation.We must strive to realize impermanence within ourselves, and by doing so we fullfil his last exhortation to us, we become the true heirs of the Buddha.

		The transition from this ignorance to awareness (and personal acceptance) of the impermanence of all things constitutes…the Buddhist path of salvation, and this transition is effected by the aid of the Buddha and his teaching.
		The teaching on anicca links up with the Buddhist doctrine of "dependent origination," paticca-samuppada, which states that "all things have a beginning" and that "all things with a beginning must have an end"; the doctrine of anicca draws attention to the fact of their demise.

	Anicca or the concept of impermanance in Buddhism
		Anicca, the first of the three, is pivotal.
		As the early texts state repeatedly, if something is anicca then the other two characteristics automatically follow: it's dukkha (stressful) and anatta (not-self), i.e., not worthy to be claimed as me or mine.
		Anicca, dukha, anatta: Investigation of Dhamma for full liberation also must include, in addition to the Four Noble Truths, a study of the Three Universal Characteristics or Signata of existence, (ti-lakkhana): anicca — impermanence, dukkha —; suffering, and anatta —; essencelessness.

	Brahmavihara Dhamma by Mahasi Sayadaw - Part 7
		At the present time, people are being ridden with the evils of akusala such as greed, anger, etc., based upon the sensations obviously arising from the six sense-doors (dvaras) at every moment of seeing, hearing, contacting and knowing.
		This deterrent effect or the subduing of greed, anger, etc., is caused by the faculty of Vipassana-kusala - merits derived from Vipassana meditation.
		Contemplation of the phenomenal nature of rupa and nama with the characteristics of anicca, dukkha and anatta is the genuine Vipassana meditation.
