Kindle Notes & Highlights
The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is.
Pain is self-created
Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.
You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection — you cannot cope with the future.
How to live without fear
The secret of life is to “die before you die” — and find that there is no death.
The great Zen master Rinzai, in order to take his students’ attention away from time, would often raise his finger and slowly ask: “What, at this moment, is lacking?”
If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same.
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.
