You really appreciate this flower right now. You appreciate this moment right now. This moment is the only moment, the absolute moment, not relative compared to other moments. There is no guarantee for the next moment. This moment is unique, is special, make it genuine.
Every day is the last day.
Sometimes you need a tragedy in order to wake you up to these kinds of things. We start appreciating every little thing. We appreciate being able to hear a bell, to feel that I am standing up, to appreciate our sensory experiences. And we are so grateful for the Dharma. We can be grateful for our shoes, for the table and not for just food and other people that are significant in our lives.
