The "Five Rememberances" of Zen

"I am of the nature to grow old. I cannot escape growing old. 

I am of the nature to have ill-health. I cannot escape having ill-health. 

I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death. 

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. 

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

My actions are the ground on which I stand."

Where do I take these words in to my self?
How do I take them in?
Are they thieves sent to rob me of happiness
Or little jewels
Sent to remind me
Of who I AM
and
What I Wish?


Be Blessed Today
BE Pleasant
Be Peace

Be Happy
BE
