Endings ……
Dear Friends
The Buddhist phrase below offers insight and inspiration as to the reality of Life.
EVAM DHAMMO ANATITO - 'The ending of things is a certainty'
Whilst we can appreciate the ANICCA-impermanence or changing nature of things, we often forget that because things change it also means that things do end.

Kind Regards
