Four Dharma Seals are the four characteristics which reflect some Buddhist teaching .
[3] This is despite the fact that some believe that the Dharma Seals were all introduced after Gautama Buddha died.
As suffering is not an inherent aspect of existence[4] sometimes the second seal is omitted to make Three Dharma Seals.
[7] However, when the second seal is taken to refer to existence contaminated by or influenced by the mental afflictions of ignorance, attachment, and anger and their conditioning actions (karma), this omission is not necessary.
