What are the Three Marks of existence? Buddhism Lesson, Religious Studies, Key Stage 3 or Key Stage 4.

This lesson pitched at KS3, but could also be used with KS4, teaches the concepts below:

Dukkha – first seen in 4 sights, then preached about in 4 Noble Truths. Types of Dukkha: Plain ordinary suffering, suffering due to anicca, and dissatisfaction.
Anicca – everything is impermanent and in a constant state of flux. Examples: ageing, declining health, growing bored with things over time.
Anatta – no self – the belief that there is no soul, as only the 5 skandhas make up a human and these things are all impermanent – when they are subtracted, nothing is left that constitutes a soul – Chariot Analogy.
