Our Relationship to

what Arises, Stays and Passes

Problems in daily life revolve around what arises, stays or passes.

There are no issues which do not involve what arises, stays or passes or a combination.

We live with wisdom when we address these three aspects of existence.

We can inquire into or relationship to action.

  • We might be slow to start something

  • We might find it hard to stay with something and progress

  • We might find it hard to bring to completion or handle an end, a loss, a death

  • What has arisen?

  • What stays/persists?

  • What passes?

  • What needs to change in terms of what arises?

  • What needs to change in terms of what persists?

  • What needs to change in terms of what passes?
