The Present Never Runs Out
Fleeting thoughts on the practicality of stillness
When the Buddha was asked, “Sir, what do you and your monks practice?” he replied, “We sit, we walk, and we eat.”
The questioner continued, “But sir, everyone sits, walks, and eats.”
And the Buddha told him, “When we sit, we know we are sitting. When we walk, we know we are walking. When we eat, we know we are eating.”
— Thích Nhất Hạnh
