Altered Awareness (133)

I have always been intrigued by Tibetan Buddhist comments on what they call the "Three Times," the past, present, and future. Two of these which I have often presented in blogs are:

Don't Prolong the Past

Don't Invite the Future

I get that, but it is the third one I have been considering for a while, which is.

Don't Alter the Present

 

I remember spending time with Ram Das (Richard Alpert) years ago and his imperative was "Be Here Now," but this is not what the Tibetans are pointing out. What they say is to not alter the present, but to allow it to be just as it is.
