摘要
An excerpt is presented from a lecture delivered by Garry Gelade at the Buddhist Society Summer School in 2010. Gelade explores the fundamentals of Buddhist practice, which he argues are found in the teachings of the Buddha. He focuses on the Three Signs of Being or the Three Marks of Existence—impermanence or change, suffering or unsatisfactoriness, and no self or no “I”—which are the characteristics of the world, or the nature of the world, in which human beings live. He argues that it is important to understand the nature of the world, otherwise people will be wanting and expecting things that are just not in accordance with the way things are, and they will not understand why.
