Why the Buddha Taught Impermanence
About this episode
All conditioned things are impermanent... Not just a truism, but the central teaching of Buddhism upon which so much else follows. Jnanaketu starts off a three-part series on the lakshanas, or 'marks' of conditioned existence, by tackling this most crucial of insights that is easy to say but a great challenge to live by.
Excerpted from the talk The Three Lakshanas: Anitya as part of the series The Three Lakshanas given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2006.
