"Five Remembrances" of foundational Buddhism
(from our first form submission from Santa Barbara)
I am of the nature to grow old; there is no way to escape growing old.
I am of the nature to become sick, there is no way to escape sickness.
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 am the owner of my actions. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
“To my thinking, the end is not benefited or avoided because we pontificate upon it.” Kyle
“I fear feeling ashamed of my life as I approach death."
The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle)
"Time is an illusion. The present moment is all that exists.
(The past and the future are measurements of time that only exist in our mind.)
Eternity does not mean endless time, but no time."

Our Great Purpose Adam Smith on Living a Better Life
The “dread of death” is the “great poison to the happiness of mankind” and makes us miserable while we are alive.
Thank you, Roger
