This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass is a game based on the Buddhist conception of the universe. According to the Buddhist understanding, the universe is an endlessly changing, enormous web that is woven of innumerable threads. Mutual dependence exists between the parts and the whole, and the entire universe is interdependent. As a result of the interactions of causes and conditions, all things in the universe come into being and vanish.

As an example of use, this game contains images of the political conflicts related to North Korea. These images appear and return to the whole, in the hope that politicians remember that their profits are only ephemeral and that they reflect on their narrowminded and selfish policies, which make so many people miserable. These images are replaced as users select their own pictures.
