| | Buddhism and the concept of impermanance |
| | This concept is known as anicca in Buddhism, according to which, impermanence is an undeniable and inescapable fact of human existence from which nothing that belongs to this earth is ever free. | | | The concept of impermanence and continuous becoming is central to early Buddhist teachings. | | | Early Buddhism dealt with the problem of impermanence in a very rationale manner. |

| | impermanence |
| | Insight into impermanence is central to Buddhist practice. | | | Beyond the ordinary experience of impermanence, Buddhist practice helps us open to the less immediately perceptible realm of impermanence, i.e., insight into the moment-to-moment arising and passing of every perceivable experience. | | | And sometimes recognizing that we are all equal in being subject to aging, sickness, and death is the basis for compassion. |

| | The Joy Of Impermanence |
| | Thus to live mindful of impermanence and in tune with not causing suffering is to live a truly Buddhist life. | | | To avoid causing suffering to self and others is the fundamental basis of a Buddhist life. | | | The reason that Buddhism in general and impermanence in particular, might be regarded by some people as a frighteningly nihilistic philosophy, is probably that it somehow implies that mind, consciousness, is also equally as transient and impermanent a thing as substance. |

| | Impermanence (Sanskrit: anitya; Pali anicca; Tibetan: mi rtag pa; Chinese: 無常, wúcháng; Japanese: mujō) is one of the essential doctrines or the three marks of Buddhism. | | | This changing flux excludes nothing including planets, stars and even gods. | | | This is embodied in human life in the aging process and the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara), and in any experience of loss; because things are impermanent, attachment to them is futile, and leads to suffering. |
