The Five Remembrances
In this episode, I explore the five remembrances, a set of profound contemplations from Buddhist tradition designed to serve as wake-up calls for living more intentionally. These remembrances—that we are all subject to aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, and that our actions have consequences—are not meant to be morbid, but rather to help us see reality more clearly and change our relationship with fear and discomfort. By acknowledging these truths without taking them personally, we can deepen our appreciation for life, our relationships, and take greater responsibility for our actions, ultimately leading to a more mindful and joyful existence.
