Existence

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. – Lao Tzu

If a man in the morning hear the right way, he may die in the evening without regret. – Confucius

Putting more energy into our thoughts about past or future than is necessary distracts us from experiencing what is real. Life manifests only in the present.

Truth is simple, only you are complicated. Truth is here-now, only you are far away, lost in words, theories, systems and philosophies. Don’t wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.

The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment. – Thich Nhat Hanh

God is always joking. Look at your own life – it is a joke! Look at other people’s lives, and you will find jokes and jokes and jokes. Seriousness is illness, seriousness has nothing spiritual about it. Spirituality is laughter, spirituality is joy, spirituality is fun! – Osho

Present moment is the only moment there ever is, all else are thoughts being experienced in the mind in the present moment. Now is the only reality, all else is either memory or imagination.

We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being. We think that when we are not doing anything, we are wasting our time. But that is not true. Our time is first of all for us to be. – Thich Nhat Hanh

Tomorrow, I will continue to be. But you will have to be very attentive to see me. I will be a flower, or a leaf. I will be in these forms and I will say hello to you. If you are attentive enough, you will recognize me, and you may greet me. I will be very happy. – Thich Nhat Hanh
