    Namo tassa, bhagavato,

    arahato, samm- sambuddhassa.

    Homage to him, the blessed,


    The worthy, the perfectly selfenlightened one.

    The Three Refuges

    Buddha saraa gacchmi


    Dhamma saraa gacchmi
    Sagha saraa gacchmi

    To the Buddha I go for Refuge


    To the Dhamma I go for Refuge
    To the Sagha I go for Refuge

    Five Subjects for Frequent Recollection

    I am subject to aging. Aging is unavoidable.


    I am subject to illness. Illness is unavoidable.
    I am subject to death. Death is unavoidable.
    All that is dear and appealing to me will change and vanish.
    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. Whatever I do, for
    good or for evil, to that will I fall heir.

    The Four Dhamma Summaries

    1. The world
    2. The world
    3. The world
    behind.
    4. The world

    is swept away. It does not endure.


    offers no shelter. There is no one in charge.
    has nothing of its own. One has to pass on, leaving everything
    is insufficient, insatiable, a slave to craving.

    Three marks of existence

    Sabbe sakhra anicc


    Sabbe sakhra dukkh
    Sabbe dhamm anatt

    All formations are impermanent.


    All formations are unsatisfactory.
    All things are without self.
