Text from DailyOm about Truth Of Impermanence which made me thinking of life:
From a Buddhist perspective, human beings cause their own suffering when they consider their egos to be fixed and permanent and therefore at conflict with a world of change. Instead, people should awaken to Dharma, the truth of impermanence. Dharma means the change that occurs when we awaken to the true nature of our lives. By awakening to the truth of our interdependence, we become far more than individuals struggling. We embody truth. Nirvana is reached when we have rooted out the causes of our self-centered dissatisfaction.
