The Buddha tells us that all conditioned phenomena – in other words, all phenomena – share three characteristics. The Buddha teaches that life can only be correctly understood if these three basic facts are realized. And not just in the abstract but also in our own moment to moment experience. “Insight Meditation” allows us to gain insight into these three characteristics (or facts).
Not understanding these three characteristics leads to frustration, disappointment and despair. But recognizing them with mindfulness and clear comprehension is the gateway to freedom.
The Buddha repeatedly said that he taught one thing and one thing only: suffering, and the end of suffering (as some have pointed out, that’s two things).
Recognizing, understanding, and being in harmony with these three facts sets us on the path that leads to the end of suffering.
