Accept the present moment without judgement.

I usually congratulate people when they tell me, "I don't know who I am anymore".

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

Attention is the vital thing and there is no tension in attention. It just happens to be a similar word. It's not concentration or straining. Attention has the openness of a young child not yet dominated by the conceptual mind.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

Nothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.

It seems that most people need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will relinquish resistance and accept - before they will forgive.
