The more clearly you see the arising and passing of phenomena, the less you will be attached to them.

To what shall I compare this life? It is like a boat that left at dawn, leaving no trace.

When you recognize that pain and suffering are impermanent, you become free.

The time of the past becomes the present, the time of the present becomes the future, the time of the future becomes the present, and the time of the present becomes the past.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure.

The nature of life is change. The nature of change is painful. The nature of pain is temporary.

The precious pot containing my riches becomes my teacher in the very moment it breaks.

One moment can change a day, one day can change a life, and one life can change the world.

Every sensation shares the same characteristic - arising, passing. Arising, passing. Learn to observe objectively.

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.

Nothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change. Being is always becoming.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

The trouble is, you think you have time.

The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.

Birth and death are neither two things nor one thing. Life is not an appearance, death is not a disappearance.

Those who know emptiness, know impermanence. Those who know impermanence, know non-self. Those who know non-self, know peace.

When you understand that all phenomena are impermanent, unsatisfactory, and non-self, attachment naturally falls away.

Don't take life too seriously. No one gets out alive anyway.

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.

If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer.

Like a dream, like an illusion, like a city of gandharvas, that's how birth, and that's how living, that's how dying are taught to be.

The most important thing in life is to know death is coming and to prepare for it.

The basic teaching of Buddhism is the teaching of transiency, or change.

Life is like stepping onto a boat which is about to sail out to sea and sink.

The mind that notes and the object that is noted are both impermanent. Understanding this leads to liberation.

All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death.

Every step on the path must be with the understanding of anicca - impermanence. This is the essence of the teaching.

To live fully is to let go and die with each step.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken! Take heed, do not squander your life.

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

The realization of impermanence leads not to despair but to a deeper appreciation of the preciousness of each moment.

Change is the nature of every phenomenon. Accept this truth and you will live a happy life.

The more you understand impermanence, the more you appreciate every moment.

Trees, mountains, and vines all exist in nature according to their own truth. They are born and die following their nature. They remain this way because that's what they are. They don't practice meditation or do anything special.

The more we understand impermanence, the more we understand that we can't hold on to anything.

The more we understand impermanence, the more we appreciate each moment of our lives.

The key to the Buddha's teaching is not grasping, not trying to hold onto things that are essentially impermanent and unstable.
