The Buddha recommended we recite these remembrances everyday. They help us become aware of our fears. They also help us to appreciate the time, the people, and the life we have.
1...I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
2...I am of the nature to have ill-health. There is no way to escape having ill-health.
3...I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
4...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.
5...My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.
