Siebe said: My small objection to this translation (aniccha – one cannot maintain anything like one wishes) is that it is very close, or almost the same, as what Dukkha means.

As mentioned earlier it is said that if one sees aniccha, he also sees dukkha and anattha at the same time. As per the sutta’s if something is aniccha, it is dukkha and if something is dukkha, it is anattha. So from these it makes sense that the true meaning of aniccha has to be very close or the same as dukka.

Can you also give a link to this; Patisambidamagga, Treatise on insight, or the relevant pali text.
