IMPERMANENCE

Impermanence is one of the main laws that operate continuously in the universe, Impermanence is always hidden in all situations, circumstances, things, and things both tangible and intangible. This is also a core focus of the teachings of the Buddha, a teacher who fully awakened about 2,600 years ago.

We do not need to follow a religion to be able to hear and receive these simple, true, but extremely profound and intellectual teachings, because the teachers who have been fully awakened never have a discriminating mind, their instructions are always to save all mankind. We only need a deep contemplation of those teachings, observing the continuous operation of those truths in practice in order to determine for ourselves whether these are reliable or not from our own sense of self. This process will create an enlightened belief, a belief guided by our own intuition, not an automatic opinion belief that is defaulted by some ideology. Religious debate is unnecessary and it does not help our lives. Instead of arguing and defending our own views, let us consciously listen and reflect on all the authentic teachings from our teachers. And more importantly, we must let these teachings flow into our daily activities to help us lead a lighter and more inspiring life. When we receive these intellectual teachings in a natural and profound state, unrestricted by religious prejudices, we will feel that all the true teachings from the teachers point to the most universal common truths. For all those who are fully awakened will realize the same universal and unique nature of reality, only that the teachings are expressed in different ways, according to the general style of each territory in different eras.

Everything in the world is impermanent, that is, everything is constantly changing, and nothing in the universe is permanent forever. There is a saying that "no one can bathe twice on the same river", which means that everything is constantly changing, the river has also changed compared to the last bath, from a relative perspective we can feel that it is the same river but actually every molecule of water in that river has changed and we have also changed change. We can experience the operation of Impermanence in any aspect of our lives if we are willing to pay attention and spend time observing and reflecting on it continuously. Impermanence may be something we've all heard about in our lives, but perhaps few of us have ever questioned what its true profound meaning is, and even fewer of those who spend a lot of time contemplating Impermanence in order to be able to apply their understanding of Impermanence to real life More. Often it is only used as exclamation phrases in certain special situations. For example, when we receive news about the sudden death of a friend, or a relative we have just met, we often have feelings of rejuvenation and often say "life is impermanent!", when we feel that we don't really understand what impermanence is. and when that revival has passed, we will quickly return to our usual cycle of hustle and bustle and forget Impermanence immediately. If we stop at such a superficial glimpse of Impermanence, do not spend any more time pondering it more deeply, observing its operation, this knowledge will have no effect other than exclamation situations, because with such fleeting knowledge we will not be able to apply anything to activities daily movements to make life more pleasant and light.

The entire universe is a manifestation of conscious energy at a multitude of different vibrational frequencies, or in other words, everything has a certain level of consciousness to keep it present. The only way to know this is to always question the existence of things, and to constantly seek answers by feeling and observing. How is a living trunk different from a dead trunk? With the stem alive, its molecules are tightly bonded into a shape; As for the dead stem, the molecules slowly disintegrate, the original shape no longer retains and over time it will completely disappear like never before. So what keeps the molecules of a tree trunk so closely connected in life, there must be a certain level of consciousness hidden in the trunk that does that, and when that source of consciousness changes, when it leaves, everything of the trunk also disintegrates. We can also observe right in our body, just breathing, we only stop for about 10 to 20 beats, we are uncomfortable and stop for 5-8 minutes, we will die, but when we remember to breathe, if we have to remember to breathe, it will be difficult for us to live for more than 30 minutes. And in the body, there are countless other organs such as the heart, liver, lungs to countless blood vessels and tiny nerves... If we let ourselves use our common sense to manipulate all these details, we would probably die in less than a second. Yet all the subtle details in such a complex body still work rhythmically and automatically to help us survive, even when we are asleep, what did do it. There has to be the presence of a level of consciousness, an intelligence that is much higher than our usual level of consciousness to operate all of that. Today's science also has state-of-the-art equipment to carry out experiments on metaphysical things that were not possible in previous times. People did an experiment to capture the texture of the water molecule, then put the water to listen to music and take a picture, and found that the texture of the water molecule became more balanced and beautiful than the original texture, and the texture of the water molecule changed with each song played. They also did a "curse a tree" experiment by having two identical trees placed in a school and given the same amount of water, fertilizer and sunlight for 30 days. The students were asked to record their voices, some of them saying kind and loving words, others saying criticism and insults. While both trees receive the same care for water and sunlight for 30 days straight, one receives daily praise and encouragement, while the other is inundated with malicious words. As a result, the tree that is given words of love and encouragement remains healthy and growing, while the tree that is bullied and insulted seems to wither because of malicious words. There is also a "double-slit" experiment to examine the expression of photons when they are launched through a narrow slit with the observer on and without the observer on. The results of the experiment showed that just by turning on the observer, the photons would faithfully represent the nature of the particle, while when the observer was turned off, the wave nature of the photon would appear again. And there are many other discoveries that are beyond the reach of the human intellect. Although experimental science today has developed tremendously, the understanding ofCurrently, nature and the universe still have many limitations. It is difficult for us to have a deep understanding of reality, nature, and the universe only on the basis of the discoveries of empirical science, but if we spend a lot of time contemplating deeply all that we observe from our surroundings, From the discoveries of empirical science and, most importantly, from within each of us, we can sense that every element of life contains an invisible conscious energy to some extent. Everything is a manifestation of conscious energy, so it all has the natural property of energy to be ever-changing, never remaining in one state forever. With such an intelligent and miraculous structure, the flow of life cannot be a stagnant pond with a fixed pattern, but it is obvious that it is always circulating and constantly changing.

We don't need to have the death of someone familiar to get a glimpse of Impermanence. If we trace back to the past or observe to perceive all things, all states, every circumstance both inside and outside of us with a deep focus and stillness, we will notice Impermanence at work all the time, in all places. All elements of life, whether small or large, simple or complex, are never permanent and unchanging, but are constantly changing, both in tangible and intangible aspects. The immense transformation of a cloud of gas dust into a planet to the subtle and constant changes in our moods all represent the operation of Impermanence. A shirt that we wore just last week felt very good, but the next week we see that it is no longer as beautiful as before, it is only a week, so the shirt is still the same, but our perception of it has changed. Every day we don't notice the transformation in our form, but if we look back at a picture of ourselves two years ago we will see how it has changed, and the same is true for other tangible objects such as a car or shoes. A sport that only a few years ago we were extremely excited to play it, but now that interest is gone. A song that we may have wanted to sing a few months ago but now we don't want to sing it anymore. Sometimes in the morning we are healthy normally, but in the afternoon we feel a hot headache and have to go to bed to rest. Many times, when we are in a state of normality and peace, we suddenly remember something that we forgot, so that state of peace is no longer there, but turns into a state of insecurity and anxiety. Sometimes we are angry for some reason, but suddenly we hear that we have just been promoted at work, the feeling of anger has disappeared and transformed into satisfaction and joy, at that time we often see that the incident that has just made us angry is not a big deal. A few years ago during the Covid period, people only wished not to be infected, only prayed for peace to continue living, everything else was not important, but now the simple desire to just live is gone, it has turned into many other wishes such as wanting to have more houses, more cars,... When we are in love at the climax, infatuated stage, we feel that just being with that person is more than enough, we no longer need anything more, then after a while, the sublimation state will no longer exist and we feel that just being with that person is not enough. I also need him to do some more things of my own accord. One month you may have been a successful person and rich, but the next month that position may have disappeared and you have turned into a bankrupt with a pile of debt. These are things that are always happening every day, every hour around us and inside us, just by looking at everything quietly in silence, we will realize that Impermanence is not something metaphysical, magical, but it is present and operates in a practical way. how clear it is.

Impermanence is an immutable law of life, but when our consciousness is still at the level of only operating automatically according to the patterns of mind set by the general tendency of consciousness, we often forget Impermanence, or see Impermanence as something extremely magical. The general pattern of the mind at the level of unintelligibility always tends to run counter to the true laws that operate life, so if we only act automatically according to the sensations of such a limited level of awareness, life is often full of confusion and unsatisfactory things. Our cognitive pattern always has an illusion of stability because it assumes that it is safe, it always demands, desires stability at all times. Since childhood, we have always been reminded that: strive to study to have a stable life in the future. We always want everything to be stable: a stable house, a stable job, a stable marriage, stable children, only to be in line with common perception and feel safe, but it goes against the ever-changing, unpredictable nature of life. Because we are only automatically oriented towards a type of stereotypical perception, we do not recognize Impermanence in everything, so instead of happily accepting this nature of life and choosing an inspiring, positive way of living every moment, we often spend a lot of time and inspiration trying to find a way to control things in order to keep things in check. it's stable. When we were still in school, we didn't really pay attention to the inspiration in the subjects, we only learned with a model reflection to satisfy our teachers and parents, then we felt safe and stable, when we grew up a little bit, we only knew how to bury our heads, do not dare to spend time having fun, balancing study time to create more inspiration for life, because we are always worried about a stable future with a stable job. When we go to work, we don't pay attention to inspiration at work, we just have to do it to have a stable amount of money to maintain a stable life. Everything we do is only aimed at stability, we are not attentive and clear enough to perceive the law of Impermanence, but whether we see it or not, whether we realize it or not, Impermanence is in constant motion. Because we keep embracing such an illusion against the law, we always have to encounter situations and circumstances that make us disappointed and stuck. This illusion of stability will make us believe that stability is real, it limits our ability to accept and adapt to changes in our lives to a great extent, so it is always very easy to fall into a state of stagnation and panic when there is a change in circumstances and living conditions. if we don't believe it, we can remember how we acted in panic and fear when our living circumstances suddenly changed like during the Covid-19 period. And reality has proven that people who accept to engage in what is considered unstable and insecure often have a more productive life, a stronger vitality, a deeper level of consciousness. The reason for this is that they have the ability to accept Impermanence and welcome Impermanence as an opportunity.

When our consciousness is still limited to the general cognitive framework that is not clear enough, we always aim for stability and consider it necessary. However, there is still a part of us that understands that everything in life is extremely fragile, fickle, perishable, broken, and we feel so sad and afraid of this, we almost just want to hold on to everything forever. It is because we are not yet clear enough to see the wonderful meaning of Impermanence, of the fragile nature that is easily transformed in everything. Life is always operated by some transcendent intelligence, it is profound, precise and full of wisdom, it is much higher than the general cognitive pattern of mankind, everything that is destined is perfect and hides a transcendent meaning. deeply. Therefore, it is not necessary to fear certain elements of life such as Impermanence. We are afraid because we have not fully understood the profound meaning of Impermanence, of the fragile nature of change, so instead of fear, we should pay silent attention, meditate on it a lot in order to see it in a real way. clear in its true meaning. This will give us a deep sense of Impermanence, we will see Impermanence as something obvious, that cannot be absent. From there, we are able to accept it naturally, comfortably and most importantly, then we are able to apply our understandings and feelings of Impermanence to our daily activities to help us live a more peaceful and light life.

Indeed, it is the fragile nature and unpredictable transformation of everything that is the gift of life. If everything in life that has been formed will be stable forever like this, without any possibility to innovate and change, what is the meaning of this life? Does everything always have to have an infinite ability to change and develop so that the new flow of life is always created, continued in a fresh, continuous and meaningful way? Imagine life as a movie and this is an extremely stable movie because there are no breakthroughs or changes in the movie, everything from the beginning to the end of the movie is repeated in a stable and steady way, nothing can change newly. Is such a movie extremely boring and tasteless? Life is a film with a director who is an escapist, transcendent intelligence, how can it be such a lifeless and boring film. Therefore, Impermanence is an indispensable element that the director has created, so that the film is always an unpredictable masterpiece and attractive in every moment. People who always aim for stability and assume that they are unfortunate enough to have that stability, for example, an employee who works in a government agency in the morning, has a stable salary, a very stable job, no pressure, every day and nothing else. The house is stable, the wife and children are stable at home every day to cook three meals, and when they come home without missing a meal, are they really satisfied and satisfied with such a very stable situation? Will they receive a regular salary and send it to the bank for safety to eat three meals a day, or will they eat less, drink less to accumulate money to invest in something that will no longer be stable, so that it will become able to change? Will they stay in a stable house forever or will they have to find somewhere to change the wind to make it less stable? Do they just finish work at the office every day and eat in a stable way, or do they also want it to be a little less stable in the afternoon by going out to eat with friends? The answers to the above questions are clear. If stability is an urgent desire, why do we can't bear it when we have it, then we wish for and invite instability into our lives? If we meditate deeply on such situations, we will see that if everything, every circumstance is forced to take shape, to remain in a stable state forever, then we will have no inspiration in living in the world, then life is really a series of catastrophic days and we will see that we are lucky to have Wu Often, it is fortunate that everything is always capable of transforming and transforming.

Once we have been able to deeply feel the profound nature and meaning of Impermanence, we need to apply these insights and feelings to our daily activities to make our lives more pleasant, comfortable, and productive. Otherwise, all the knowledge will only stop at the level of knowledge, the feelings cannot go deeper. For it is only through application that our lives are improved, and only through application can our perception of Impermanence become deeper and more authentic. Our illusions that "there is indeed stability" and "stability is safe" in an unlucid state of consciousness will lead us to always seek stability instead of happily accepting changes as natural and comfortable operating in the present moment. At the same time, this illusion also creates an illusion that there is long-term stability of specific circumstances and situations. We need to meditate on Impermanence a lot in order to see it operating in a true, clear way in its true sense, in order to dispel the illusion of stability. When the illusion that everything is stable is partially removed, our understandings and feelings of Impermanence will slowly emerge in each specific situation and circumstance. Through our deep understanding of Impermanence, we are able to choose actions that are more beneficial to us in life in the face of specific circumstances and situations, through which our lives become more positive and productive. Just as when we have achieved success and are in a good position, with power in our hands, but our consciousness is still in an unclear state, without deep understanding and feeling of the influence of Impermanence on everything, we rarely think about the prospect of what it will be like when those things are gone. We often have the illusion that our success and other position are stable and permanent, so we do not have consideration and caution in our actions. At that time, we are prone to perform actions that are detrimental to ourselves such as complacency, arrogance, and appearance, and sometimes we will use our existing power and advantages to suppress others, usurp others' to get richer, without thinking about the consequences when those successes and powers are no longer transformed. The reason we are so free to take actions that can have such bad consequences is because we know nothing about Impermanence, or only know fleeting in a very superficial and shallow way, so we have the illusion that everything will always be so fixed. difficult to change, so we are not afraid. In another situation, if we are at a disadvantage, for example, by nature suffering from some serious disease, when we are unaware of the operation of Impermanence, of the possibility of change in everything, we often have the illusion that the unfavorable situation will be forever. Our disease will always be like this, it cannot be different. The consequence of this hallucination is that it makes us worry unnecessarily, sometimes to the point of despair in a completely unnecessary way. It is the state of excessive anxiety that arises from the hallucination that the bad situation will cling to us forever that will make our situation worse. Thus, a deep understanding of Impermanence is extremely necessary for our lives, when we have a deep understanding of Impermanence, in each specific situation, the illusions of the fixation and immutability of the situation will be reduced, replaced and the ability to recognize the Impermanence that is hidden in the situation. In such a clear understanding, when we achieve success or encounter an advantage, we also have a clear feeling that this state will inevitably change and pass, then we still enjoy that fruit, that advantage, But joy will be gentle and delicate, without the illusion that it will last forever but overjoy, but become arrogant, ridiculous, using advantages to suppress others, thereby avoiding unnecessary harmful consequences. In the same way, in unfavorable situations we still have a sense of Impermanence hidden in the situation, we know that everything will inevitably change and pass, but it cannot exist like this forever, then we will be more optimistic about the situation. Without excessive anxiety or hopeless thoughts, from this optimism, the possibilities to turn an unfavorable situation can come to us faster and sooner.

When our consciousness is trapped in the illusion of stability, without a deep sense and understanding of Impermanence, we are often very afraid of change, we automatically distance ourselves from new things, we always tend to operate only in environments that we consider stable and safe. Like changing a job, a new work environment is very difficult for us, even though the old job and the old environment are no longer satisfying or inspiring, we still cling to it because we think that it is stable anyway. Even with smaller changes, such as when there is a new, more effective way of doing an existing job, we are very afraid to change the way we do it because doing it the old way feels more familiar, stable and safer, so even if it doesn't work and takes a lot of time, we still don't want to change. All of this arises from the illusion of stability of not understanding the Impermanence nature of everything. When we just want to embrace, hold on to what we think is stable and safe just because it is familiar, think that we can't let go of it, we are limiting ourselves, we are inadvertently allowing the tastelessness, boredom and irrationality of the old things that we have been extremely tired of all our lives. Just for the sake of stability, we are trading inspiration and wasted time. We don't know that what we think is stable and familiar, it can also change and break at any time, we can't predict or control this. Therefore, when we understand the nature of Impermanence, the ever-changing nature of everything, we should be more open, more positive to changes, to new things, to inspire, to allow these things to come into life as a matter of course. as a new opportunity, instead of just wanting a boring stability. We can aim for a relative stability in our lives, which is normal, but if the desire for stability becomes a tendency, a motivation that always haunts us, forcing us to always cling to old things, even though they are boring and no longer relevant, make us extremely afraid of change, new but inspiring things, then we should realize that we are stuck. Everything in the world is the same, always fragile, and there is a hidden possibility that can change and change at any time. We cannot know which is stable and which is unstable, because when it changes and how it changes is something we cannot predict or control. The feeling that something is stable is always just a false illusion that arises from a lack of awareness, a lack of a deep sense of impermanence in life. So instead of always looking for stability, always obsessing about it, we should accept the impermanence in everything, see it as a gift from life, then we will be able to enjoy every moment of life in an inspiring, lighter, and more fulfilling way. Of course, when there are events that happen in life, we still have feelings of disappointment and sadness, which is a very normal and very human thing. However, with a deep understanding of Impermanence, we will no longer assume that such events should no longer occur, we will be able to deal with the emotions that are arising within us in a more proactive and calm way, which will help the pain to metabolize more quickly.
