Practicing the Five Remembrances in the daily life

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,
I cannot escape death.
All things are created and caused by my bodily action, verbal action, and mental action, I cannot let go of them, whether it is good karma or non-good karma. Aware of this, good karma I continue upholding and developing; non good karma I try to recognize and transform.
All relatives, loved ones, and things I cherish today are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand. (Bell)

Freedom of Body and Mind

This body is not mine,
I do not cling to it
I am not limited by this body.
I am an infinite life,
I have never been born,
and also have never died.
Look! Sea is wide and the sky is high,
Densely innumerable stars.
All are together manifested in me
from the spiritual source of consciousness mind,
from all lives I am free.
Birth and death are the gateways in and out,
they are the hide-and-seek games.
Smile together with me.
Breathe together with me.
Practice meditation together with me,
Recite the Buddha’s names together with me.
Namo the Fully Awakened Buddhaya.
