The belief in a future heaven creates a present hell.
相信一個未來的天堂創造了一個今生的地獄。
-- From:《Stillness Speaks》by Eckhart Tolle
人類的歸宿就在「現在」,它不在未來,也不在他處,就在"此時此地":
All you really need to do is accept this moment fully.
You are then at ease in the here and now
and at ease with yourself.
所有你必需做的是全然的接納這個時刻。
在此時此刻你就在平安之中
自在地和你自己同在。
Find the "narrow gate that leads to life." It is called the Now. Narrow your life down to this moment. Your life situation may be full of problems -- most life situation are -- but find out if you have any problem at this moment. Not tomorrow or in ten minutes, but now. Do you have a problem now?
找到"通往生命的窄門"。它叫做當下。小化你的生命到這瞬間。你的生命情境也許充滿著問題 -- 大部份的生命情境都是的 -- 但是找找看你在這瞬間有什麼問題。不是明天或十分鐘後,只是現在。你現在有一個問題嗎?
