The Three Marks
Rather
than seeking a sense of peaceful satisfaction with the unfolding of
experience, the goal of [preliminary] practice is to produce a state of
mind that is highly judgmental, indeed judging this world to be like a
prison. This sense of dissatisfaction is regarded as an essential
prerequisite for progress on the Buddhist path. Far from seeking to
become somehow 'nonjudgmental,' the meditator is instructed to judge all
the objects of ordinary experience as scarred by three marks:
impermanence, suffering, and no self.
