In Buddhism, metamorphosis signifies constant, inherent change, from the cosmic shifts of reality to the personal journey of spiritual awakening and transformation through the cycles of reincarnation towards enlightenment, often embodied by immortality. This transformative process can be physical, symbolic, or spiritual, reflecting the transient nature of existence and the potential for profound liberation and divinity.
