Overview

What does it mean that we are constantly changing? How do people confront ideas like death and change? Asked to contribute to an exhibit celebrating the work of the Dalai Lama, multimedia artists David and Hi-Jin Hodge interviewed over a hundred people about impermanence and change in their lives. Their subjects ranged from philosophers, gardeners, economists, spiritual leaders, doctors, and patients. The result was incredibly moving. The Hodges's installation consisted of a large circular arrangement of mounted iPods on which the interviews played simultaneously, each on its own screen. Now this unique record has been made available for a wider audience; it includes both a book and a DVD so that the interviews can be viewed as they were seen in the original exhibit. Though impermanence is a central Buddhist concept, it's also a universal concern. We all grow up, change, and eventually pass into another state. Impermanence- Embracing Change provides a range of voices both profound and heartwarming that address these questions.

Change it's one of the few constants in life. All that we can really count on is that everything we experience inside and outside ourselves will change in fact, it's always changing with every passing moment.... The Buddha declared that just as the elephant makes the deepest of footprints, so the awareness of impermanence makes the deepest impact in terms of transforming our aspirations, getting to the root of suffering, and opening the way to liberation and enlightenment. B. Alan Wallace, contributor to Impermanence: Embracing Change
