Present Circumstances (126)

If we read even a little Tibetan Buddhism, we can't get away from its focus on the present moment. As mentioned in earlier blogs, the Buddhists are not so worried about "Being Here Now" as Baba Ram Das pointed out, as with not altering the present in any way. Ultimately the Tibetan Buddhists are interested in recognizing the true nature of the mind (past, present, or future) and resting in that nature.  And of course they rule out the past and the future as just something seen from the present darkly. They only really say one thing.

 

Allow the mind to rest in the present, just as it is.
