The Five Remembrances of the Buddha

I am of the nature to grow old.There is no way to escape growing old.

I am of the nature to have ill health.There is no way to escape ill health.

I am of the nature to die.There is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change.There is no way to escape being seperated from tham.

My actions are my only true belongings.I cannot escape the consequances of my actions.My actions are the ground upon which I stand.
