needs help from someone who knows Pali or Sanskrit

hello,

I need the help from someone who knows any of the languages to tell me how to write the phrase "this is transitory too". I have always had a hard time letting go of things, accepting that they end and that everything in life is ephemeral so I want to get a tattoo that reminds me that things are transitory in either one of those languages.

I also want to accompany the text with a lotus flower to remind myself that things that are transitory are also beautiful in their own way and that like a flower, i need to just let them be. I'll take suggestions for this too.

Thank you very much!

Marianty

    Does it make it seem more true or important to you to have your words, in your own tongue, need to be written in a different one? That seems to be a rather pointless attachment. I understand holding on to some terms that do not have perfect English translations, such as "dukkha", but otherwise... ;)

    Would the Pali for "Impermanence" work? अनिच्चा
