Impermanence: Now is the Time to Practice (Link #546)

from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students

Speaker: Nick Carter. Nick reflects on how recognizing the impermanence of all things guides us to see that the wisest way to use our precious human birth is to engage in practice. Although habit and attachment lead us to view things as permanent, it is clear that they are not: seasons end; people die. The three marks of existence according to Buddhism-suffering, impermanence, emptiness-teach us that viewing impermanent things as permanent and solid gives rise to suffering. Contemplating the impermanent nature of all things offers us the opportunity to connect to the truth of the Dharma and supports our aspiration to devote our precious human birth to progressing on the path.
