“If we were never to fade away…how things would lose their power to move us. Because we will fade away, we are moved, because we are moved, we realise more deeply that we will fade away.”
– Keith Dowman
If I had to sum up Buddhism in one word, it might be impermanence. Often, it’s impermanence that brings us to the Dharma in the first place — through grief, loss and fear. But impermanence isn’t only something painful. It’s also a doorway to freedom, a doorway to insight. In this workshop, I’ll share my own explorations of the Japanese aesthetic known as wabi-sabi — a way of finding beauty in impermanence.
