The Five Remembrances 

1. I am subject to aging. No way to avoid aging. 

2. I am subject to ill health. No way to avoid illness.

3. I am going to die. No way to avoid death 

4. Everyone and thing I love will change and be separated from me.

5. Only true possessions are my actions, I cannot escape their consequences.

Do not suppress knowledge of our frailty, impermanence and fears that lie in the depths of our consciousness.
