What is the equivalent to the 3 Marks of Existence in Vajrayana or Mahayana Buddhism? I heard a version of the Buddha's enlightenment¹, where the Buddha didn't realize impermanence, dukkha and no-self but in place of that he realized the past, the present and the future. That sounded a bit odd to me, is that a popular Vajrayana version of the Buddha's enlightenment?

¹ Here is how the Buddha's enlightenment is narrated in the movie "*Kundun*":
> "Then, at the time of midnight,
the Bodhisattva saw a clear light. Then he saw in a single instant
the three states of existence,
> the past,
the present,
and the future
> purified by the clear light.
Then, sitting at the Tree of Enlightenment, he conquered
all the devils."
