If we bring
mindfulness into every aspect of our life, we cannot help but experience life’s
miracles.
The First Miracle is to be present and able to
touch deeply the miracles of life, like the blue sky, a flower, the smile of a
child.
The Second Miracle is to make the other the
sky, a flower, a child present also. Then we have the opportunity to see each
other deeply.
The Third Miracle is to nourish the object of
your attention with full awareness and appropriate attention.
The Fourth Miracle is to relieve the suffering
of others.
The Fifth Miracle is looking deeply into the
nature of self and others.
The Sixth Miracle is understanding. If we are
mindful of the present moment, we can see deeply and things become clear. With
understanding, the desire to relieve suffering and give love will awaken within
us.
The Seventh Miracle is transformation. By
practicing Right Mindfulness, we touch the healing and refreshing aspects of
life and begin to transform the suffering
in
ourselves and in the world.
Our true home is the
present moment. If we really live in the moment, our worries and hardships will
disappear and we will discover life with all its miracles.
Real life can only
be found and touched in the here and now. This is because the present moment is
the only moment we can actually experience and influence. The past is over and
the future has not yet arrived. Since the present moment is the only real moment
for us, we can always return here to get in touch with the wonders of life.
As long as we are
consumed with our everyday problems distress about the present, regrets about
the past, or constant worries about the future.we cannot be free people; we are
not able to live in the here and now.
