                     never persist in the same way, but  they vanish/dissolve moment to moment. In fact, this 
                     is the law of Universe. From this law of Impermanence, other two characteristics;
                     suffering (dukkha) and not-self (anatta) are derived.                

                    Sabbesankharaanicca i.e. whatever subject to origination is subject to cessation.

                     Everything; be it living or non-living, mind or matter, is subjected to

                     change. Things are changing all the time. They are not permanent. So are our thoughts, feelings 

                    and perceptions.The Buddhist Law of Causation explains the whole nature of the 

                     interdependency of our existence.
