I boken «Mindful Eating, Mindful Life» fant jeg disse fem «versene» skrevet av Thich Nhat Hanh, og de kan virkelig føre til at man anerkjenner realitetene.
I am of the nature to grow old.
There is no way to escape growing old.I am of the nature to have ill health.
There is no way to escape ill health.I am of the nature to die.
There is no way to escape death.All that is dear to me and everyone I love
are the nature to change.There is no way to escape
being separated from them.My actions are my only true belongings.
I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.My actions are the ground upon which I stand.
