Change (I Ching)

Part of I Ching (Change)

The core principle of the I Ching: reality is dynamic and constantly changing. Understanding the patterns of change allows one to act in harmony with circumstances. The I Ching has been consulted for over three thousand years. Its core insight is that change follows identifiable patterns -- by understanding them, one can act at the right time.

Within the vast Chinese philosophical tradition, from the Hundred Schools of Thought to the classical texts that shaped East Asian civilization, Change (I Ching) represents a key concept that continues to inform philosophical thought and practice today.
