Definition 釋義
The first of the Three Characteristics of existence (Ti-lakkhaṇa). All conditioned phenomena (saṅkhāra) are impermanent — arising dependent on conditions, they must also cease when those conditions change or pass away. Contemplating anicca in one's direct experience is a fundamental Vipassanā meditation practice.
Canonical Example 典籍例句
Sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā.
All conditioned things are impermanent.
