The Five Remembrances 🙏🏾💛

Peace Sangha,

Today, I am sharing with you “The Five Remembrances” from the Upajjhatthana Sutta, which was inspired by a Dear Friend, JA. These teachings provide us with the wisdom of timeless divine truths, shedding light on the mystery of our human existence and the nature of life itself.

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 upon which I stand.

Prashanti
