Impermanence

Nothing in this world is permanent, whether good times or bad. Know the three universal characteristics - impermanence, unsatisfactory nature, and non-self. In light of the recent tragedies, do remember to keep your calm and send merits to the victims on their journey to the next world. Just think of their bodies as being made up of the four elements and the 32 parts, and they are now reunited with nature once more. Make use of this lifetime to lead a meaningful life, that is to 1) avoid evil, 2) do good, and 3) purify your mind.
