#insubstantiality

Buddhism’s key concepts are impermanence (anicca) and insubstantiality (anatta)- not minding these pointers one is prone to slip into suffering (dukkha). Full understanding and continuously recognizing impermanence and insubstantiality, suffering is halted before it can begin- this is what it means to practice the Buddha Dharma.
