Bhaddekaratta Sutta

When we are masters of ourselves, we can grasp the situation as it is, and we’re in the best position to handle whatever may arise. When we dwell in mindfulness day and night, then we are truly practicing “the better way to live alone.”

This is a very simple and essential teaching of the Buddha on how to live fully in the present. Today, many call this mindfulness, but like so many other namings, the word can lose its meaning with our overuse of it.
