In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra颁颈迟迟腻苍颈迟测补迟腻 (啶氞た啶む啶むぞ啶ㄠた啶む啶い啶�) refers to the 鈥渋mpermanence of the mind鈥�, as defined in an appendix of the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter XXXI. Accordingly, Among the conditioned dharmas, the impermanence of the mind (肠颈迟迟腻苍颈迟测补迟腻) is very easy to detect. Thus the Buddha said: 鈥淪ometimes worldly people (辫峁泃丑驳箩补苍补) recognize the impermanence of the body (办腻测腻苍颈迟测补迟腻) but do not recognize the impermanence of the mind (肠颈迟迟腻苍颈迟测补迟腻). Some worldly people say that the body is eternal, but the mistake that holds the mind to be eternal is even more fatal. Why? It may be that the body will last for ten years or twenty years, whereas the mind, night and day, disappears each moment, arising as one thing, perishing as another, without stopping for a single moment. On the point of arising, it is born one thing; on the point of perishing, it dies another thing鈥�.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
