Right here, right now

"No matter where we are, no matter what we do and what we face, we have to take care of this moment. That's all.

This moment is not the idea of this moment. If you see it as a concept, it becomes frozen. But the real moment is not frozen. The only thing to do is to see and deal with this moment as it is - right now, right here."

Shunryu Suzuki said that



Wherever you are,
you are one with the clouds
and one with the sun
and the stars you see.
You are one with everything.
That is more true than I can say,
and more true than you can hear.

No-mind

Being present in every moment means to forget oneself, forget your practice, forget the moment, forget everything, to be dissolved into the moment and become one with it, transcending every notion of subject and object existing independently of eachother. This moment takes place before your mind is able to identify it, and before it can be measured and classified. If it exists in our thoughts, it has already left us.
