"Living in the world yet not forming attachment to the dust of the world is the way of a true Zen student."
-Zengetsu, Chinese Master.
From ancient and modern wisdom, we can take time to learn that each moment is fleeting, and that "it is always right now." Our challenge then becomes making each "now" worthy of being our last, while relinquishing expectations about loss and gain. We can not can take wealth, fame, or success along with us in death. Our conduct and generosity at each moment alone are of true consequence.
