Nibbana/Nirvana is not a dualistic experience. Stop waiting for something beautiful or interesting to happen, in this world, and realise whatever happens here is impermanent and empty.

The most effective way I've found to overcome habitual desires/cravings is contemplating impermanence (anicca). Throughout the day, if you see everything, including the body and thoughts, as fleeting and not good enough (compared to eternal spiritual things), everything in the world loses its appeal.

Whatever is your emotional crutch -- music, food, sex, drugs… -- why do you think that thing is a reliable source of happiness? If it's not always present, it's not reliable.

Life can be so intensely, intoxicatingly pleasurable, but it never lasts. Endlessly chasing after, and working for, fleeting sense pleasures involves endless suffering.

Someone who attains Nibbāna has become tired, disenchanted, disillusioned, etc (nibbidā) with sense objects, including thoughts -- they always change, leave, die, betray....

Saying this or that event in life has meaning is like saying this or that wave on the ocean has meaning. In a moment, it's gone -- replaced by the next one, then the next....

The impermanence of this world makes it cheap junk. Ashes to ashes. Everything here is worth exactly as much as the dirt to which it will return.

Impermanence (anicca) means you can find death in everything and in every moment.

Why is it delusional (mohā) to say the body is me, mine, or myself? Because the body's matter/energy constantly change, move, become different. There is nothing stable there to call a substance or essence. The same is true of thoughts and feelings. It's like calling a flowing river 'me'.

#Buddhism's #ecological #philosophy frames #environmental care as #ethical imperative rather than mere conservation. Through #interdependence (#paṭiccasamuppāda), non-harming (#ahiṃsā), and the #Bodhisattva ideal, it extends #compassion to all sentient beings affected by #ClimateChange. #Impermanence (#anicca) invites #mindful engagement, not passivity, distinguishing natural cycles from #anthropogenic destruction.

#Buddhist #cosmology adapts and critiques #Indian models, emphasizing #impermanence (#anicca), non-self (#anatta), and #DependentOrigination. Unlike #Hindu cosmology, it rejects creator gods and views cosmic realms as conditioned, not ultimate. Liberation, #nirvāna, lies beyond cosmological cycles. Here is a brief overview:

#Mosshōseki (没蹤跡) in #Zen #Buddhism expresses the ideal of acting without leaving traces of attachment or self-reference. Rooted in non-attachment and impermanence (#anicca), it advocates a #MiddleWay: engaging fully in life while letting go of outcomes, embodying freedom and responsibility.

#Fudōshin (不動心), the "immovable mind", is a central #Zen concept denoting inner stability and #equanimity amid change. Rooted in Buddhist teachings on #impermanence (#anicca) and non-self (#anatta), it embodies resilience not through suppression, but through adaptive presence and non-reactivity. In this post, we briefly explore its significance in Zen practice and philosophy.

#ShinjinDatsuraku ("dropping off body and mind") is a pivotal #Zen concept expressing the experiential release of self-attachment and dualistic identification. Central to #Dōgen's teaching, it reflects the Buddhist insight into non-self (#anatta) and #impermanence (#anicca), emphasizing liberation through letting go rather than accumulation. This post briefly explores its meaning and practice in Zen.

In #Buddhism, #avidyā (#ignorance) is not mere lack of knowledge, but a deep-rooted misperception of reality — especially regarding impermanence (#anicca), non-self (#anatta), and causality. Overcoming avidyā is central to liberation, requiring transformative insight rather than intellectual learning.

#Prajñā, or wisdom, is central in #Buddhism as direct, experiential insight into reality’s impermanence (#anicca), non-self (#anatta), and emptiness (#sunyata). Distinct from intellectual knowledge, it is cultivated through study, reflection, and #meditation, and is inseparable from #compassion. In this post, I summarized key aspects of Prajñā across different Buddhist traditions, its role in the #NobleEightfoldPath, and its significance in daily life:

#DependentOrigination (paṭicca-samuppāda) is a central Buddhist doctrine describing how all phenomena arise and cease due to interdependent causes and conditions. Through the twelve links (#nidanas), it explains the emergence of suffering (#dukkha) and the path (#magga) to its cessation, emphasizing impermanence (#anicca) and the absence of a permanent self (#anatta):

The #FiveAggregates (#skhandhas) in #Buddhism offer a profound analysis of the self, revealing it as a dynamic process rather than a fixed entity. This framework deconstructs the illusion of a permanent self by examining form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. In Buddhist thought, understanding these leads to insight into impermanence (#anicca) and non-self (#anatta), guiding toward liberation from suffering (#dukkha):

The Three Marks of Existence — impermanence (#anicca), suffering (#dukkha), and non-self (#anatta) — form the core of the Buddhist understanding of reality.
