Buddhist teachings for beginners on impermanence (anicca)
from Buddhist Wisdom, Modern Life · host Claire Villarreal, PhD
If you've ever wondered what the most important teaching in Buddhism is, now you know! If you understand impermanence -- that things are constantly changing -- then the rest of Buddha's teachings make sense. There are two levels to this constant change or flow: "gross" and subtle. The first level refers to the changes we notice, like when a wildfire burns through a community, transforming it overnight. At the subtlest level, science shows us that the subatomic particles that make up the atoms of our cells are constantly flashing into and out of existence. 🤯 For more information on my new course on this topic, Ease into Change, click here: https://geni.us/changecourse. May you and all beings be well.
