Enjoy Moment after Moment

It is all right to enjoy your life moment after moment because you are not enjoying it as something concrete and eternal. Our life is momentary, and, at the same time, each moment includes its own past and future. The next moment will include its own past and future. In this way, our momentary and eternal life will continue. This is how we lead our everyday life, how we enjoy our everyday life, and how we get freedom from various difficulties. How we do not suffer from difficulties, and how we enjoy our life moment after moment is our practice based on true understanding.
