Impermanence is everywhere—in the things we own, in the people we love, in our thoughts and memories, and even in our very character. In this brief talk, I explore Vigata-paccaya, the Abhidhamma condition of impermanence, and show how reflecting on it can turn suffering into wisdom and lead the mind toward the Deathless.This talk is also part of my ongoing Paṭṭhāna series.For a deeper perspective, I recommend reading my book Paramattha or listening to my introductory talks on Abhidhamma: “Basics of Buddhist Philosophy” and “Paṭṭhāna – The Grammar of Insight”. There is now also a video on these topics available on Bhikkhu Dhammānanda’s YouTube channel: @bhikkhu-dhammananda
