5 remembrances

[Jim T]

When you deny the reality of life, you appreciate it less. Meditate on
the Buddha's Five Remembrances and rediscover the magic of life just
as it is.

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 the nature to change. There is no way to escape
being separated from them.

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