Each evening at the Zen Mountain Monastery in New York these words are changed prior to a period of meditation:

Let me respectfully remind you,
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by and opportunities are lost,
Each of us should strive to awaken . . . awaken
Take heed.
Do not squander your life.
-Victor M Parachin, Think Like the Buddha
