The "impermanent world" is the concept, central to Buddhism and mentioned in Hinduism, that all phenomena, physical and mental, are transient, constantly changing, and ultimately dissolve. Recognizing this fundamental truth can lead to liberation from suffering by reducing attachment to temporary states, people, and things, fostering appreciation for the present moment, and cultivating resilience during hardship.
