“But in the beginning, we can use the teaching, the notion of impermanence, as an instrument to help bring about the insight of impermanence. It’s like a match and a flame. The match is not the flame, but the match can bring about the flame. And when we have the flame, the flame will consume the match. When we have the insight, the insight will burn away the notion. What we need for our liberation is the insight of impermanence.”
