If the mind stays in the present

February 15, 2014

Basically, if the mind stays in the present, it’s impossible to worry. Upon careful consideration, it becomes clear that human beings are capable of worrying only about an event that has already transpired or one that may take place in the future (although the occurrence might have just happened or may be about to happen in the next instant). The present moment contains no time or space for worry. ~H.E. Davey

    True. Present is always more important and will always remain more important than the past and future.

    WOW! I think the universe just guided me to read this post of yours. Your the first person I've come across that knows about this. I learned this in a book call "The way of the peaceful warrior". Author is 'Dan Millman'. In my life since I have learned of this I try to teach people this as a method of meditation. What your talking about is focusing our "attention" on the present moment as a way to clear our mind and think directly from our heart, because as you send…..thoughts only exist in the past or the future. Budists believes that we should practice this every day, with the goal being that, 24/7, our attention is focused on the present moment. This is how one reaches a state of mind that Budists call 'Satori' which is essentially, 'inner peace'. Once the state of 'Satori' is reached, we(humans) have access to amazing capabilities such as outer body experiences and self healing. I think me and you should chat more. Email me if you want (77dylan77@gmail.com). I am brand new to this google social media think so that's the best way to get in contact with me, just until I learn how to use this thing.

    Just tested this th eory, and is absolutely true. When I stopped for even 5 seconds and admired the beauty of our sky and sang music I love, and wrote some notes, a little this and that! I was no longer in tomorrow, yesterday. Nor yestersecond. Make no mistake it's work! Worth it though; a precious lesson learned;-) whomever this reaches LIVE, LIVE, LIVE. PEACE, Gabrielle

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
