Death, Decay & Fragile Beauty – IMPERMANENCE in Vedanta and Buddhism

Both Buddhism and Vedanta fully agree about the importance of the principle of impermanence (Pali: anicca, Sanskrit: anitya). By recognizing the transient nature of all that exists, you can discover how to break free from clinging attachment and worldly suffering.

Over a thousand years ago, great Buddhist and Vedantic scholars like Nagarjuna and Shankaracharya used precise logic and powerful reasoning to demonstrate the metaphysical foundations for the impermanence of all that exists. And in more recent times, celebrated teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh and Ramana Maharishi helped their followers recognize the transient nature of worldly existence and the importance of spiritual inquiry, knowledge and practice. Due to entropy, anything made of individual pieces eventually falls apart. Atoms, mountains, and even vast galaxies are all subject to decay and destruction. And that fact applies equally to your car, your home, your body, your loved ones, to everything you hold dear. And whenever you lose someone or something that's dear, you suffer. The teachings of Buddhism and Vedanta are meant to help free you from that suffering. Those teachings say, because everything in the world is impermanent, you are subject to losing all that you consider dear - loved ones, health, employment, money, as well as pleasures, physical comforts, etc. But you suffer, not because of losing all those things, but because of your clinging attachment to them. In other words, you suffer due to your inability to let go, your inability to accept unfavorable situations, and your continual longing for whatever can't have. Fortunately, breaking free from all attachments doesn't mean that you have to become emotionless, aloof and indifferent to everyone and everything in your life. For example, the Dalai Lama is presumably free from all attachments, and yet, he deeply embodies compassion, love, and kindness. His life shows that it is indeed possible to be loving and detached at the same time. To recognize the impermanent, fleeting nature of life need not be sad or fatalistic. That recognition can actually make each day of life far more precious. The Dalai Lama said, "Awareness of impermanence and appreciating our human potential will give us a sense of urgency that we must use every precious moment."
