3. Sankhara-dukkha
- This is hte most existential form of dukkha. It's the feeling that no matter what we do, what we achieve, or what we acquire, we can never find a permanent state of lasting contentment. This is directly related to Anatta(No-self), as it arises from the illusion that there is a fixed "I" who is separate and needs to "find" something to be complete.
