Template:Shadows of Impermanence

From Everyday Enlightenment

Within the Lens of Impermanence, we see the realization that everything is constantly changing, and to accept and embrace change.

  • Looming Shadow - Eternalism, is the belief in unchanging, eternal substances or entities (like a soul), directly contradicting the principle of impermanence in all things.
  • Flickering Shadow - Nihilism, includes the belief that life is fleeting and meaningless, which can potentially bring peace of mind. However, understanding Impermanence is about increasing our Adaptability to challenging situations, and growing and awakening further, which is inherently meaningful.
