About
Impermanence
(Sanskrit: anitya, Pali: anicca) This term refers to the Buddhist notion that all things of
samsara are impermanent. Once created, they decay and pass away. Although this is particularly true for human illness and death, the idea refers to the nature of all things. It is one of the reasons for
suffering and is considered one of the three
marks of existence.
