In truth, there is no self to be found.
There are only Dharmas.
continually arising and passing away as is their nature.
Every single moment we're undergoing birth and death.
This is the way things are.
When we think of the Lord Buddha, how truly he spoke, we feel how worthy he is of reverence and respect.
And whenever we see the truth of something, we see his teachings, even if we've never actually practiced the Dharma.
But even if we have a knowledge of the teachings, have studied and practiced them, as long as we still haven't seen the truth, we are still homeless.
So understand this point.
All people, all creatures are preparing to leave
When beings have lived an appropriate time, they must go on their way.
Rich, poor, young and old must all experience this change.
When you realize that's the way the world is, you'll feel that it's a wearisome place.
When you see that there's nothing real or substantial you can rely on, you'll feel wearied and disenchanted.
Being disenchanted doesn't mean you are averse.
The mind is clear.
It sees that there's nothing to be done to remedy this state of affairs.
it's just the way the world is knowing in this way you can let go of attachment letting go with a mind that is neither happy nor sad but at peace with conditions through seeing their changing nature with wisdom Anicca Vata Sankara
All conditions are impermanent.
To put it simply, impermanence is the Buddha.
