‘Here-Now’ is the seed of bright future and memorable past! Here-now is the seed of bright future and memorable past Well lived, ‘Now’ is a two way mirror one to golden future and other to sunlit remembrance of past Life is a series of here-now and only in this interval you can really work and create Forgive and let go the past; you can even remember it and plan for tomorrow only in Nows’ magic ‘estate’! An angry man listening to Buddha’s talk that anger burns you before your adversary He reacted in an abusive language and even a spat on Buddha’s face Coolly wiping his face he went on with his talk in the same pace Next day, as he was talking in a different place, the angry man fell at his feet with tears, no more an adversary! He was remorseful of his angry behavior of the earlier day Buddha said “you are still stuck in Yesterday but I have moved on in Today’ When you are living in ‘Today’, it is far easier to forgive and let go the past and create a future” You can even leap from the present moment Now to transcend time, past or future! Neophyte and a senior Zen student met a limping young woman Trying but failing to cross a stream on the way, when The junior lifted her on his back, crossed the stream dropped her and walked on The senior, after a sullen silence, chastised him for breaking the monastic rule by handling the young woman. The younger man said ‘I have already dropped her while you are carrying her even now!’ We carry the burden of hurtful past, ignoring the precious present and opportunity to laugh and create here-now. Most meditations focus on presencing and transcending the phenomenal world, yet on living, moment to moment The most important time, place, work and the person to relate are in the possibility here-now.
