The Five Remembrances

I am of the nature to grow old. I cannot escape growing old.

I am of the nature to have ill-health. I cannot escape having 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 separated from them.

I inherit the results of my actions in body, speech and mind. My actions are the ground on which I stand.
