這時此刻
今日是昨日的明日。
明日是今日的明日。
要活在今日, 那麼, 請不要思考這麼多…
因為, 你所有需要的, 是今日, 這時此刻。
The Moment.
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
Tomorrow is today's tomorrow.
Living is for today. Why making it so complicated?
Because... All you needed, is Today—The Moment and Now.
女. 男. 人.
女. 要的是矜持。
男. 要的是尊嚴。
人. 想要的... 只是快樂,金錢與挑戰。

WE NEED THE MUD IN ORDER TO MAKE THE LOTUS
- Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice… No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.
- Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive.
- It is possible to live happily in the here and now. So many conditions of happiness are available—more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don't have to run into the future in order to get more." ~
- Life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.
- Your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get relief.
- There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus.
- Mantra to loved ones: "Darling, I'm here for you." When you love someone, the best you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?"
- The second mantra is, "Darling, I know you are there and I am so happy."
- You embrace your beloved with mindfulness. And he or she will bloom like a flower. To be loved means to be recognized as existing.
- These two mantras can bring happiness right away, even if your beloved one is not there. You can use your telephone and practice the mantra. Or e-mail. You don't have to practice it in Sanskrit or Tibetan—you can practice in English.
- The third mantra: "Darling, I know you're suffering. That is why I am here for you." Before you do something to help, your presence already can bring some relief.
- The forth mantra is a little bit more difficult. It is when you suffer and you believe that your suffering has been caused by your beloved.: "Darling, I suffer. I am trying my best to practice. Please help me."
- No, I don't watch television. But I'm in touch with the world. If anything really important happens, someone will tell me.
- About death: When the cloud is no longer in the sky, it hasn't died. The cloud is continued in other forms like rain or snow or ice. Our nature is the nature of no birth and no death. It is impossible for a cloud to pass from being into nonbeing. And that is true with a beloved person. They have not died. They have continued in many new forms and you can look deeply and recognize them in you and around you.
- When you call me European, I say yes. When you call me Arab, I say yes. When you call me black, I say yes. When you call me white, I say yes. Because I am in you and you are in me. We have to inter-be with everything in the cosmos.
- *** Compassion is our most important practice.***
- The practice of nonattachment to views is at the heart of the Buddhist practice of meditation. People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore.
- To be free from wrong views that are the foundation of all kinds of suffering and fear and violence.
