    Everything in existence is impermanent and there is no permanent self or soul. Ignorance of this fact causes clinging and suffering (dukkha) as people crave things that are constantly changing. Craving fuels karma and binds one to the continuous cycle of death and rebirth. There are three types of craving - for pleasure, continued existence, and non-existence. Suffering can end when craving and clinging end, karma is no longer produced, and rebirth ceases - a state of nirvana or peace of mind is reached.

    Indian religions, asserts that everything is impermanent (anicca), but, unlike them, also asserts

    that there is no permanent self or soul in living beings (anatt).[70][71][72] The ignorance or
    misperception (avijj) that anything is permanent or that there is self in any being is considered a
    wrong understanding, and the primary source of clinging and dukkha.[73][74][75]

    Dukkha arises when we crave (Pali: tanha) and cling to these changing phenomena. The clinging
    and craving produces karma, which ties us to samsara, the round of death and rebirth.[76][web 7][note 10]
    Craving includes kama-tanha, craving for sense-pleasures; bhava-tanha, craving to continue the
    cycle of life and death, including rebirth; and vibhava-tanha, craving to not experience the world
    and painful feelings.[76][77][78]

    Dukkha ceases, or can be confined,[79] when craving and clinging cease or are confined. This also
    means that no more karma is being produced, and rebirth ends.[note 11] Cessation is nirvana,
    "blowing out," and peace of mind.[81][82][83]
