心经 Heart Sutra

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时。照见五蕴皆空,渡一切苦厄。舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,色即是空,空即是色,受想行识,亦复如是。舍利子,是诸法空相,不生不灭,不垢不净,不增不减。是故空中无色,无受想行识,无眼耳鼻舌身意,无色声香味触法,无眼界,乃至无意识界。无无明,亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。无苦集灭道,无智亦无得。以无所得故,菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无罣礙,无罣礙故,无有恐怖,远离顚倒梦想,究竟涅槃。三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神呪,是大明呪,是无上呪,是无等等呪,能除一切苦,眞实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多呪,卽说呪曰:揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提萨婆诃。

The Present Moment

I found this really informative channel on Buddha's teaching. The youtuber dsl is able to explain with his own experience in investigating and experiencing Buddha's teaching. 

In the video, from 14:25, Buddha told the three men that yesterday she had stolen their valuables, now she is still stealing away their present moment. Would she also be upset with them at the present moment? Instead of carrying the burden of the past and always trying to change the unpredictable future, they are losing the present moment.  Buddha advised them to be present at the moment so that they can discover themselves, to be aware of what is causing their suffering.
