-''momentary. ''The quality of disintegrating immediately upon arising. This is the characteristic of impermanence. All composite phenomena are momentary: in each moment, they arise and disintegrate, and then arise and disintegrate again in the next, and the next moment. Ordinary beings do not perceive directly perceive this momentariness and instead mistake a continuum of similar moments as being an unchanging thing.
-Instantaneous does not seem quite right: in English that generally refers to something that happens suddenly. The English word momentary seems to better capture the fleetingness and instability that skad cig ma refers to. [[User:DKC|DKC]]
