'''Impermanence''', also known as the [[philosophical problem]] of '''change''', is a philosophical concept addressed in a variety of [[religion]]s and [[philosophies]]. In [[Eastern philosophy]] it is notable for its role in the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] [[three marks of existence]]. It is also an important element of [[Hinduism]]. In [[Western philosophy]] it is most famously known through its first appearance in [[Greek philosophy]] in the writings of [[Heraclitus]] and in his doctrine of [[Panta rhei (Heraclitus)|''panta rhei'']] (everything flows). In Western philosophy the concept is also referred to as ''[[Becoming (philosophy)|''becoming'']].
