The Upajjhatthana Sutta ("Subjects for Contemplation") is a Buddhist discourse (Pali: ''sutta''; Skt.: ''sutra'') famous for its inclusion of five remembrances, five facts regarding life's fragility and our true inheritance. The discourse advises that these facts are to be reflected upon often by all. According to this discourse, contemplation of these facts leads to the abandonment of destructive attachments and actions and to the cultivation of factors necessary for Enlightenment. According to the ''Ariyapariyesana Sutta'' (''Discourse on the Noble Quest'') MN 26,〔http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.026.than.html〕 the first three remembrances are the very insights that led Gautama Buddha to renounce his royal household status and become an ascetic after experiencing strong feelings of spiritual urgency (saṃvega). As the 57th discourse of the fifth book of the Pali Canon's Anguttara Nikaya (AN), this discourse's abbreviated designation is AN 5.57 or AN V.57. Alternately, it may be designated as A iii 71 to signify that in the Pali Text Society's Anguttara Nikaya's third volume, this discourse starts on page 71. ==Five remembrances== Below are two English translations and the original Pali text of the "five remembrances": The Buddha advised: "These are the five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained."〔(Thanissaro (1997b). )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Upajjhatthana Sutta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
