buddhist children past
If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.

To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future.

But you are still grounded in the present moment. Nhat Hanh

buddhist disappointment moving
While the primary function of formal Buddhist meditation is to create the possibility of the experience of "being," my work as a therapist has shown me that the demands of intimate life can be just as useful as meditation in moving people toward this capacity. Just as in formal meditation, intimate relationships teach us that the more we relate to each other as objects, the greater our disappointment. The trick, as in meditation, is to use this disappointment to change the way we relate. Mark Epstein
