Past Very Good Happened

More From Nick Hornby

Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.
Real Mistake Mean
You can make the argument that there's no such thing as the past. nobody lived in the past. they lived in the present. it is their present, not our present, and they don't know how it's going to come out. they weren't just like we are because they lived in that very different time. you can't understand them if you don't understand how they perceived reality.
Past Reality Different
There is no past. that's another illusion. everything that has ever happened to you, to me, to anyone in this world, happened in the present moment. that's all there ever is. so your relationship to life isn't your relationship to your past, it's your relationship to the present moment.
Past World Moments
Who controls the past now controls the future. who controls the present now controls the past. who controls the past now controls the future. who controls the present now?
Past Rage Against The Machine
Man can only be certain about the present moment. but is that quite true either? can he really know the present? is he in a position to make any judgment about it? certainly not. for how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? if we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?
Men Hatred Certain
To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future. the idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. if you are firmly grounded in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness and concentration. you can attain many insights by looking into the past. but you are still grounded in the present moment.

Death and dying provide a meeting-point between the tibetan buddhist and modern scientific traditions. i believe both have a great deal to contribute to each other on the level of understanding and of practical benefit.
Buddhist Believe Understanding
Some consider me as a living buddha. that's nonsense. that's silly. that's wrong. if they consider me a simple buddhist monk, however, that's probably okay.
Buddhist Silly Simple
Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. if you are not capable of generatng that kind of energy toward yourself - if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself - it is very difficult to take care of another person. in the buddhist teaching, it's clear that to love oneself is the foundation of the love of other people. love is a practice. love is truly a practice.
Buddhist Teaching Love Is
I sort of believe that my voice was preordained; i'm a buddhist who believes in reincarnation so i think that my voice is a few lifetimes old.
