BUDDHISM'S VIEW OF EXISTENCE

This is how author John B. Noss summed up Buddhism's view of existence: 
 
“Wherever we observe it, the living world, whether around us or within us, is constantly in flux, in a state of endless becoming.

“There is no central planning world-self, no sovereign Person in the heavens holding all together in unity.

“There is only the ultimate impersonal unity of Being itself, whose peace enfolds the individual self when it ceases to call itself “I” and dissolves in the featureless purity of Nirvana, as a drop of spray is merged in its mother sea. 
 
“The permanency of the world is an illusion, and this also holds true of the empirical ego; there remain for human experience only processes of change and decay, of becoming and passing away, of appearing and disappearing.”
