"Monks, this body has been given, has been received, is subject to aging, illness and death. Its lifespan is limited. Its life is bound to end. What is given, sustained, protected and carried must be relinquished. That's why you should develop mindfulness of death."
-The Buddha in the Angutara Nikaya

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
The Buddha was very straightforward, very honest. He knew that we could accept and handle the truth. So rather than sugarcoating things and trying to give people some sense of oh, that everything is hunky-dory and great. He is very honest and very forthright about the fact that we will get old, we will get sick, we will die. And not as a punishment, not as some kind of a curse, but something to be aware of, to keep in mind, because awareness of the impermanence and fragility of this life allows us to live more fully. With great appreciation for what we have.
