Impermanence

Impermanence in Buddhism (Pali, anicca; Sanskrit, anitya) is one of the Buddha’s three marks of existence, or conditions that describe reality. The Buddha recognized that everything within samsara (the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth) is impermanent or ever-changing, and misunderstanding this truth is the root of our suffering.
