We are like the spider.
We weave our life and then move
along in it.We are like the dreamer who
dreams and then lives in the dream.This is true for the
entire universe.The Upanishads

All composite things are
impermanent, They are
subject to birth and death;
Put an end to birth and death, And there is a
blissful tranquility.

Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.
Gene Tierney

“Why bear anger or hate
towards another
when transient life
will end sooner or
later.”

Catch, then, O catch the transient hour; Improve each moment as it flies!
St. Jerome

“Life will come to an end
one day…
May we all live the
Righteous Way”

In the midst of clouds of
impermanence and illusion dances the lightening of life. Can you say you
won’t die tomorrow? Practice the
dharma. Dilgo Khyentse
Rinpoche

“When there is life, there must be death and decay.
Let’s live a life of worthiness everyday.”
![Page 21: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

All formations are `transient’
(anicca); all formations
are `subject to suffering’ (dukkha);
all things are `without a self’
(anattaa).
~ Gautama Buddha
![Page 22: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

“Life is impermanent and all have to depart.
May you have kindness and forgiveness in
your heart.”
![Page 23: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Again, when one understands that
corporeality, feeling, perception, mental
formations and consciousness are
transient (subject to suffering, and without
a self), also in that case one possesses Right Understanding.
Gautama Buddha
![Page 24: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

“The only certainty in life
is uncertainty.Reflecting,
let’s strive for peace and
equanimity.”
![Page 25: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

We need to surrender to the fact
that all efforts at permanence are
hopeless. No structure we can build will protect us
from the contingencies of life.
But in the midst of that impermanence
is the incredible gift of life.
~ Ecclesiastes
![Page 26: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

“YesterdayYesterday – A Memory
Tomorrow Tomorrow – Uncertainty.
What matters isTodayToday.
That’s why the Present is a Gift.”
![Page 27: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Everything about us, within as well as without -our relationships, our thoughts, our feelings- is
impermanent, in a constant state of flux.J Krishnamurty
![Page 28: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

“Do we live with a purpose and
meaning in this life that
is so very fleeting?”
![Page 29: Reflections On Impermanence](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102900/54b9c0664a795976118b4583/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

When you truly embrace
your human impermanence
you connect with the power you
have, and influence you have, over the time you have.
― Steve Maraboli

“ ‘Birth, old age, sickness and death’ is
our ‘Fate’.Mindfulness is the Path to the Deathless
State.”
