"Thich Nhat Hanh presents "The Five Awarenesses Exercise": Breathing in, I know that I am of the nature to grow old. Breathing out, I know that I cannot escape old age. Breathing in, I know that I am of the nature to get sick. Breathing out, I know that I cannot escape sickness. Breathing in, I know that I am of the nature to die. Breathing out, I know that I cannot escape dying. Breathing in, I know one day I will have to let go of everything and everyone I cherish. Breathing out, there is no way to bring them along. Breathing in, I know that I bring nothing with me except my actions, thoughts, and deeds. Breathing out, only my actions come with me."
