6.2 The Three Signs of Being is the ways that the Buddha used to describe life. Nothing in life is perfect, (dukkha) It includes things like being bored and uncomfortable, and everything which is not satisfactory.
1. Everything in life - even solid things such as mountains - is changing, all the time. (anicca)
2. There is no soul. (anatta) Instead, the Buddha taught, what does carry on to the next life is a person's life force (Karma). The Karma can be good or bad, depending on how the person lives in this life. Karma is the law that every cause has an effect, i.e., our actions have results. This simple law explains a number of things: inequality in the world, why some are born handicapped and some gifted, why some live only a short life. Buddhists believe that our past actions have an effect on who or what we are in our next life.
The Buddha said that people should avoid extremes. They should not have or do too much, but neither should they have or do too little. The 'Middle Way' is the best.
