The 5 rememberences:

Quotes:
- "handling our suffering is an art."
- "If we don't experience suffering, how can we ever generate understanding and compassion? Compassion is born from understanding suffering, and without understanding and compassion, we cannot be a happy person....we cannot create happiness in a place without suffering.... lotuses cannot grow on marble."
- " Breathing in, I see all my ancestors in me: my mineral ancestors, plant ancestors, mammal ancestors, and human ancestors. My ancestors are always present, alive in every cell of my body, and I play a part in their immortality."
