A good and timely reminder. . .


Just to share all of these with you, got it from a friend's blog and I think it's the best advice you could give to someone you care. . .

Here is the english translation with Pali taken from the book Pali recitation for meditators by Sujiva.

I am of the nature to decay -
( Jaradhammomhi )
I have not gone beyond decay -
( Jaram Anatito )
I am of the nature to be diseased -
(Vyadhi Dhammomhi)
I have not gone beyond disease -
(Vyadi Anatito )
I am of the nature to die -
(Marana Dhammomhi )
I have not gone beyond death - ( Marana Anatito )
All that is mine and dear -
( Sabbehi Me Piyehi Manapehi )
Will change, Will vanish -
( Nanabhavo Vinabhavo )

I am the owner of my own kamma -
( Kammassakomhi )
I am the heir of my own kamma -
( Kamma Dayado )
I am born from my own kamma -
( Kamma Yoni )
I am related to my own kamma -
( Kamma Bandhu )
I abide supported by my own kamma -
( Kamma patisarano )
Whatever kamma i shall do -
( Yam Kammam Karissami )
Wheather good or evil -
(Kalyanam Va Papakam Va )
of that -
( Tassa )
I shall be the heir -
( Dayado Bhavissami )
Thus by Us -
( Evam Amhehi )
Should (these) be frequently recollected - ( Abhinham Paccavekkitabbam )
