The Five
Remembrances

1. 1I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
2. 2I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health.
3. 3I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
4. 4All 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. 5My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.

From the Upajjhatthana Sutta, as chanted at Plum Village
