Buddha emphasizes the impermanence of all things from "summary" of The Buddha Said... by Osho
The Buddha always emphasized the impermanence of all things. He wanted us to understand that nothing in life is permanent. Everything changes, everything moves; nothing remains the same. This impermanence is not something to be afraid of or to resist; it is simply the nature of existence. When we resist impermanence, we create suffering for ourselves. We try to hold on to things that are meant to slip away, causing ourselves pain and frustration. The Buddha encourages us to accept impermanence, to embrace it, to flow with it. In doing so, we can find peace and freedom. Understanding impermanence can help us to let go of attachments and expectations. We can learn to appreciate the present moment, knowing that it is fleeting. We can learn to release our grip on the past and our worries about the future. Impermanence teaches us to live in the here and now, to fully experience each moment without clinging to it. It reminds us to be grateful for what we have, knowing that it may not last forever. Impermanence encourages us to savor the beauty of life, to cherish the relationships we have, to find joy in the simple moments. By embracing impermanence, we can find a sense of peace and contentment that transcends the ups and downs of life. We can learn to let go of our fears and anxieties, trusting in the natural flow of existence. Impermanence is not something to fear; it is something to celebrate, for it is a reminder of the preciousness of life.
