Description

The Three Dharma Seals: Impermanence, Non-Self and Nirvana are a time-honored and essential teaching of Buddhism through which we can deepen our understanding of everyday reality. Through insight into the nature of impermanence we find no separate fixed identity of self and other. In accord with the constant change and flow of our life we can realize the truth of non-self, finding freedom from conditional beliefs and concepts, opening the gate to actualizing nirvana.
