Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's entry on anicca is written and edited in-house without an academic peer review process, the middle tier reflecting a professionally fact checked general reference rather than a specialist Buddhist studies source. NotesA general reference encyclopedia with editorial staff and a long institutional record, continuously revised rather than dated to a single print year. Reliable for the definition of anicca and its place among the three marks of existence.
