In the Diamond Sangha Tradition

The Buddha Said...

You shouldn't chase after the past or place expectations on the future.

What is past is left behind.

The future is as yet unreached.

Whatever quality is present you clearly see right there, right there.

Not taken in, unshaken, that's how you develop the heart.

Ardently doing what should be done today, for -- who knows? -- tomorrow death.

There is no bargaining with Mortality and his mighty horde.

Whoever lives thus ardently, relentlessly both day and night, has truly had an auspicious day:

so says the Peaceful Sage.

Majjhima Nikaya 131: (Bhaddekaratta Sutta)
