The Eighteenth Gate
Reflection on inconstancy is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we reflect upon the desires of the triple world.
Inconstancy:
not constant; changeable; fickle; variable
Gatha:
May we, together with all beings
Reflect of the efficacy of constancy
That we may dispel worldly desires
May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to The Present.
