Finally someone who understands the concept of impermanence and why it is a problem for our happiness.

[@Ikaros23]

Permanent happiness don’t exist. The craveing for this fantasy state of mind is the root of most of our problems

[@chiranthisuras3427]

Impermanence (Anithya) is not about change in the physical body or physical things. Impermanence is about the changes in the perception. Buddha taught impermanence as “perception is conditioned by cause and effect”. For example, perception of eye is conditioned by so many factors, one factor is sharpness of eye sight. We see everything relative to the limitation of eye sight(perception). If our eyes are sharp as a microscope we will see world completely different. Therefor, nothing we see is true, all the images we see conditioned by so many factors. They are just a mirage. This the meaning of impermanence. We believe what we see is true and get attached to it. That cause suffering. If wisdom arise at any moment to see the reality of perception, attachment won’t arise to it and it will stop creation of all the thoughts, hopes and disappointment cause around what we perceive. That is end of suffering, Nirvana.

[@ninag2489]

Wonderful indeed. But rhetorical question; if everything is impermanent, how can one expect the truth to be permanent?

[@jcpeters4157]

The buddha even said that. ☺ dont cling to what he said .

[@vikas64233]

There is only one truth in this universe that is eveything is impermanant.

[@therealpeterhorvath]

@@vikas64233 impermanent is permanent, so not everything is impermanent.

[@MeME-lq9tx]

@@therealpeterhorvath your understanding of this is Impermanent , everything is impermanent

[@deela262]

@ Inna Ghising The rhetorical question won't even arise along the lines of explanation by The Buddha, presented for our Liberation from suffering. :) The Buddha said " sabbe sankhara anicca ti" meaning " all conditioned things ( matter, mind ) are impermanent " Nibbana is " unconditioned" not subject to change...in fact there is no samsaric being/ individual identity existing as the fuel for continued existence( of the aggregates / elements/ sensory faculties) has been extinguished.

....understanding 'reality, as-it-is' in the sense of openness forgot the "impermanence" link, altogether, at the point of one-ness -- realization (self-realization)..., sorry....CG....😊

[@cscmbk8425]

....keeping one's hands open, palms-together, circle-is-closed: 🅾 ..holding-nothing, nothing, in the mind, neither: what permanence versus impermanence, ...could there be ...?...CG 😊

[@cscmbk8425]

...it seems that mind in anatta has lost the past, as the present dukkha-cause of body (=5 aggregates constituting self)...😊...CG

[@shana1898]

The only thing permanent is my sadness

[@cscmbk8425]

anatta cannot be actualzed without de-tachment to the past. Time past, is the only basis as evidence of anicca - CG

[@cscmbk8425]

the origin of anicca has its birth in time past...the origin of anatta has its enlightenment in its origin, its' ever present moment....CG

[@cscmbk8425]

physical time is a relativisation of ever-lasting, ever-resting identical eternity- CG

[@Corvaire]

This is why I'm never on time. - Totally not my fault. ;O)-

[@techrider2088]

The Bible: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8. This is in direct contradiction to this monk’s teaching. Choose one or the other to believe. You cannot have both.
