| Conclusions from the Three Universal Truths
Buddhists believe in three fundamental truths of the universe, namely - Everything is in a constant state of change. (anicca)
- That "suffering" exists and is unavoidable. (dukkha)
- That everything is devoid of a "self." (anatta)
Thus, there is no "perfect government" or utopian society possible - we can only approach an ideal incrementally - and any created institution is also changing, as people and the world change constantly. Secondly, no material wealth or political power will grant us happiness - satisfaction is an illusion that only perpetuates samsara. Also, individualism is foolish, since there is no self that is distinct over the other matter in the universe. Impermanence (Sanskrit: anitya; Pali anicca; Tibetan: mi rtag pa; Chinese: 無常, wúcháng; Japanese: mujō) is one of the essential doctrines of Buddhism. ...

That being said, the aim of the bodhisatva is to try to minimize the amount of suffering that goes on during our lives. The anarchist worldview points to certain sources of oppression, namely, the state and capitalism. The first institution frames the desire for power, and the second, the desire for material wealth - two things that Buddhists reject. Trying to control other human beings will only cause them to suffer, and ultimately suffering for those who try to control. Trying to hold on to and accumulate material wealth also increases suffering for the capitalist and those they capitalize on. A state is an organized political community, occupying a territory, and possessing internal and external sovereignty, which successfully claims the monopoly of the use of force. ...

The source of compassion for a Buddhist relies on a fundamental selflessness - Buddhists try to connect their existence to the existence of all beings, things, and even not-things (voidness). Compassion for humanity as a whole is what inspires the Buddhist towards activism - though most, if not all political groups tend to go against the [Eightfold Path]] that steers Buddhist thought and action. Thus, anarchism, without a rigid ideological structure, and no vanguard of dogma, is easily applicable for Buddhists.
