Impermanence is a doorway to Freedom (Retreat at Spirit Rock)
2018-05-15 Impermanence is a doorway to Freedom (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 56:58
Susie Harrington
the Buddha taught that the recognition of arising and passion away (Anicca) is the doorway to freedom. In this talk, we explore impermanence and it’s relationship to dukkha. To let go ov our argument with the reality – with the way things are, to the nature of changing phenomena, opens up to the possibility of ease and freedom: “All things are impermanent/ They arise and they pass away./ To live in harmony with this truth/ Brings great happiness.”
