The first verse of the Dhammapada (“DUH-muh-puh-duh”) compares this concept to a wheel that follows the ox’s step. A common etymology of this concept compares it to a badly-fitting axle. The three forms of this concept include its vipariṇāma (“vip-puh-rin-NAH-muh”) form “of change” and its sankhāra form “of existence.” This concept is one of the three marks of existence, along with aniccā (“un-NITCH-chah”), or impermanence, and anattā (10[1])(“un-NUT-tah”), or a lack of unchanging self. (10[1])This concept is caused by taṇhā (“TUN-hah”), a term for craving or attachment, (10[1])and the cessation of this concept is called (10[1])nirodha. (10[1])After living a sheltered life, Siddhārtha Gautama first learns about this concept after encountering age, disease, (10[1])and death. (10[1])For 10 points, name this characteristic of mundane life according to the first (10[1])of the Four Noble Truths, (-5[1])a sensation (10[1])that can be ended by attaining nirvāṇa. ■END■
