- The direct insight into the reality of the three marks of existence (trilakṣaṇa)—impermanence (anitya), suffering (duḥkha), and nonself/insubstantiality (anātman)—and one of the qualities perfected on the path leading to the stage of a worthy one (arhat).[1]
In the Pali tradition, ñāṇadassana-visuddhi is identified as the seventh of the seven stages of purification on the path to liberation, as presented in the Visuddhimagga.
