<P> In Buddhism , the three marks of existence are three characteristics ( Pali : tilakkhaṇa ; Sanskrit : trilakṣaṇa ) of all existence and beings , namely impermanence ( anicca ) , unsatisfactoriness or suffering ( dukkha ) , and non-self ( anattā ) . These three characteristics are mentioned in verses 277 , 278 and 279 of the Dhammapada . That humans are subject to delusion about the three marks , that this delusion results in suffering , and that removal of that delusion results in the end of suffering , is a central theme in the Buddhist Four Noble Truths and Noble Eightfold Path . </P>
