Buddha
Someone asked the Buddha : "I have heard that the Dharma is a doctrine of enlightenment. What is your method? What do you practice every day?"
The Buddha replied, "We walk. We eat. We wash ourselves. We sit down." Said the questioner, "What is so special about that? Everyone walks. Everyone eats. Everyone washes themselves. Everyone sits down."
The Buddha replied, "Sir, when we walk, we are aware that we are walking. When we eat, we are aware that we are eating. When we wash ourselves, we are aware that we are washing. When we sit down, we are aware that we are sitting down. When others walk, eat, wash, or sit down, they are generally not aware of that they are walking, eating, washing, or sitting down."
Most of the time we are lost in the past or carried away by the future.
When we are mindful,deeply in touch with the present moment,our understanding of what is going on deepens,asnd we begin to be filled with acceptance ,joy,peace and love
