I am not well versed in Eastern philosophies AT ALL, but my impression is that in Buddhism, the appreciation of the present moment is much more emphasized than it is in our culture. To me, that would be a way to help accept the lack of permanence. OTOH, don't they also believe in reincarnation? If so, that would provide some comfort in dealing with death, which, of course is our ultimate change.
