Tilakkhana - the 3 marks of what, exactly?

Samsara, phenomena, fabrications, experience with samadhi directed at seeing aggregates, sense bases, elements: anicca, dukkha, anatta
Nibbana: no arising and passing away discerned, highest ‘bliss’, not-self

Dukkha here is the Truth of suffering (dukkha sacca) seen in the suffering visible in fabrications (sankhara dukkha), not emotional suffering (domanassa) or even unpleasant feelings (dukkha vedana).

Sad emotions are overcome upon enlightenment- ‘sad’ existence is overcome upon death of the arahanth as is pain.
