Let us now recite the passage for frequent recollection:<\/p>\n

(ALL):<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Jar\u0101-dhammomhi jara\u1e43 anat\u012bto. <\/span>
I am subject to aging. Aging is unavoidable.<\/p>\n

By\u0101dhi-dhammomhi by\u0101dhi\u1e43 anatiito.<\/span>
I am subject to illness. Illness is unavoidable.<\/p>\n

Mara\u1e47a-dhammomhi mara\u1e47a\u1e43 anatiito.<\/span>
I am subject to death. Death is unavoidable.<\/p>\n

Sabbehi me piyehi man\u0101pehi n\u0101n\u0101-bh\u0101vo vin\u0101-bh\u0101vo.<\/span>
I will grow different, separate from all that is dear & appealing to me.<\/p>\n

Kammassakomhi kamma-d\u0101y\u0101do kamma-yoni kamma-bandhu kamma-pa.tisara\u1e47o. <\/span>
I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and live dependent on my actions.<\/p>\n

Ya\u1e43 kamma\u1e43 kariss\u0101mi kaly\u0101\u1e47a\u1e43 v\u0101 p\u0101paka\u1e43 v\u0101 tassa d\u0101y\u0101do bhaviss\u0101mi.<\/span>
Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir.<\/p>\n

Eva\u1e43 amhehi abhi\u1e47ha\u1e43 paccavekkhitabba\u1e43. <\/span>
We should often reflect on this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
