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.
