	A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY
		The third mark of existence is that of Dukkha, suffering: all of existence, not just human existence but even the highest states of meditation, are forms of suffering, ultimately inadequate and unsatisfactory.
		The three marks of existence can be seen as the basis for the four noble truths above; in turn the three marks of existence may be seen to come out of an even more fundamental Buddhist theory, that of Pratityasamutpada: Dependent Origination, or Interdependent Co-arising.
		The core of this teaching is contained in the Noble Eightfold Path, which covers the three essential areas of Buddhist practice: ethical conduct, mental discipline (‘concentration; or ‘meditation’), and wisdom.

	The `No-Self' Nature of People and Things by Charlie Singer

		The latter two "marks of existence", of dissatisfaction and impermanence, have been much written about in the Buddhist literature now available in the English language, but the notion of anatman, or `no-self' has been little understood, and represents one of the most unusual, and yet important, ideas to arise in the history of ideas.
