Three Marks - Non-Self
There is no permanent, unchanging self or soul.
Anatta (non-self) teaches that what we consider 'self' is a constantly changing process of five aggregates. There is no fixed, permanent essence - this realization liberates from ego-clinging.
All phenomena are empty of self.
Understanding non-self is key to liberation from suffering.
