The Four Noble Truths or Sajjas are:
Dukkha sacca. The Truth of Suffering
Samudaya sacca. The Truth of the Origin of Suffering
Nirodha sacca. The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering
Magga sacca. The Truth of the Path leading to the cessation of suffering
The Three characteristics of Existence are:
Anicca. Everything is limited to a certain duration and, consequently, liable to disappear. (Impermanence)
Dukkha. Everything is unsatisfactory. There is nothing that can be relied upon, there is nothing that can bring true happiness. (Suffering)
Anatta. Everything is deprived of a self. There is no self-inherent entity, nothing that can be controlled. (No Self)
"And what is the cause by which suffering (dukkha) comes into play? Craving is the cause by which suffering (dukkha) comes into play".
