Return to the Present, Return to Peace

Most of our mental exhaustion comes from wandering thoughts. We linger on past regrets, struggle with uncertain futures, and let endless internal friction consume our vitality day after day. We are always busy running forward, forgetting to stop and listen to our inner voices, and ignoring our tired hearts. Meditation teaches us to return to the present moment. The present is the only real life. When you focus on your breathing, feel the steady beating of your heart, and perceive the subtle feelings of your body, all anxiety and confusion will gradually dissipate. You will no longer be trapped by trivial troubles, nor disturbed by noisy external voices. Meditation is a simple and effective spiritual practice. It does not change your life, but it changes your state of mind. It lets you know that peace does not mean having no troubles, but having the ability to settle troubles. With persistent meditation, you will have a stable mind, no longer flustered, no longer sensitive, and walk steadily and gently in trivial life.
