Pariṇāmavāda, often translated as the "doctrine of transformation" or "theory of change," is a philosophical concept in Buddhist thought, particularly associated with the teachings on impermanence and the nature of reality. It refers to the understanding that all conditioned phenomena are in a state of constant change and transformation. In the context of Buddhist philosophy, Pariṇāmavāda emphasizes the dynamic nature of existence, asserting that nothing is static or unchanging.
