Explanation:

• Question 3: In Buddhism, the Three Characteristics of Existence (Tilakkhana) are Anicca (impermanence), Anatta (non - self), and Dukkha (suffering). Mandala is a geometric symbol in Buddhist (and Hindu) traditions representing the universe, not one of the Three Characteristics.
• Question 4: In Buddhist meditation practices, trance meditation (also known as jhana meditation in some contexts) can lead to states of deep concentration where there is a state of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) which is described as a state where there is neither perception nor non - perception. Recitation of parittas is for protection, and insight meditation (vipassanā) is more about developing wisdom through observing the nature of reality.

Answer:

• Question 3: Dukkha
• Question 4: Trance meditation
