The Five Remembrances

I am of the nature to grow old.

I cannot escape growing old.

 (bell)

 I am of the nature to have ill-health.

I cannot escape having ill-health.

 (bell)

 I am of the nature to die. 

There is no way to escape death.

 (bell)

 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.

 (bell)

 I inherit the results of my actions in body, speech and mind.

My actions are the ground on which I stand.
