Being in the Present: The Essential Buddhist Practice

This was shared by a friend on Facebook today and I thought it would serve as a nice reminder of how simple a “spiritual practice” can be:

“Being in the present is so important in Buddhism. It is the core strategy of Buddhism to do whatever it takes to keep the mind present, to have ones mind from going astray. Every single method that exists in Buddhism is for that result. It could be from just a simple sitting meditation to the tantric methods of visualisation, ritual and mantra.” From Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Image courtesy of Spirit Rock
