Yesterday I was looking at various topics out of curiosity, and fortunately happened to read about the three marks of existence and listen to two of the five talks given on the topic.
In the past I never had problem of understanding anitiya (though now I understand it is not the same as anicca), and never had a problem of understanding dukkha (though now I understand that it is divided in two categories, for the first time in my life I have heard of dukkha with the extra kha which means to remove), but I always had problem understanding the concept of nonself and I am relieved that the Buddha never meant it that way.
Being from India, in hindi the word ichha means desires, and it was easy to understand
the concept of anicca.
I can’t believe that a concept which can be understood easily was made so difficult with wrong interpretations.
I just want to clarify and hope that I have correctly understood it now.
Anicca means we act in a certain way to achieve a certain result based on our desires/iccha, but the law of nature is such that our desires are not satisfied and don’t produce our expected results (especially if we act out of ignorance) which results in the experience of Dukkha or dissatisfaction (ranging from minor irritation to severe suffering, in this life or in future lives) and Anatta means we have no control over this phenomenon. Anatta is our helplessness in our inability to stop our wanderings in the 31 realms, and anatta also means the whole process is
useless or not worth our effort and in the Buddha’s teachings, the term Anatta has nothing to do with nonself.
