“When mortals are alive, they worry about death. When they're full, they worry about hunger. Theirs is the Great Uncertainty. But sages don't consider the past. And they don't worry about the future. Nor do they cling to the present. And from moment to moment they follow the Way.” WayMomentsActionPastWorryAliveHungerMortalsUncertaintySage Book:The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma Source: The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma
