(via kevinmaynard)The Buddha taught: “Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has not yet come. Looking deeply at life as it is. In the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom. We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it? The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day ‘one who knows the better way to live alone.’”
-“Bhaddekaratta Sutta,” translated by Thich Nhat Hanh

Time flies. If I don’t embrace this present moment, I will soon find myself an old man with a wasted life.

every day is a good day.: The Scarecrow Speaks.
okay everyone, put away your boyish desires, your bouyant sighs,
your rolling eyes, your lust for rolling rock.
your lust for getting rocks off with other’s follies,
all your desires for couch and tv, pick up a book, pick up a shovel.
put down the gun, throw the fist.
throw intelligent…

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. There will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai (via whylovememylove)
