The Wisdom of Vipassana • Reflection 02
There is a quiet wisdom in recognizing that nothing stays as it is.
We often cling to what we love, resist what we fear, and wish certain moments could remain unchanged.
But change is not something happening to us.
It is the nature of life itself.
In Vipassana, this truth is known as Anicca — Impermanence.
Not merely an idea to understand, but a reality to observe directly.
And perhaps, when we stop clinging to what was and begin meeting each moment as it is…
something within us begins to soften.
Go Within.
