Here and now samsara
Being in a impulse or a same, living in a here as well as a now, in various forms, is offered in Zen circles as well as elsewhere as a little kind of panacea. But in truth, it ain't. The impulse or a here as well as a right away is zero some-more than raw clarity certainty. The here is a place or locus. More precisely, it is a site of my body. The right away or this impulse is about time. But what just is time? Time is zero though a measurement of change. Putting this altogether, a impulse or a here as well as right away boils down to this: my body is undergoing change. Taking an additional step, this sounds really informed with Buddhism's impermanence (anitya) that is additionally samsara.
So what is so smashing about putting in service awareness of a present moment? Nothing that we can see. In fact, if we have been cutting firewood with a sequence saw it is improved to be wakeful of a saw as well as a branchnot a little epitome moment. Being wakeful of a present impulse is being wakeful of samsara, a practice that is a prolonged way from a seaside of nirvana.
I can't recall a Buddha teaching such a foolish practice as learning to be in a here as well as a right away or live impulse by moment. The Buddha basically taught a most that we have been in low shit as well as need to crawl out of this stinking samsaric cesspit that is done up of a lot of shitty moments such as war, poverty, disease, as well as starvation.
On this sour note, there is no need to venerate a here as well as a now. Living impulse by impulse it not a great car (mahayana) or a a single car (ekayana). It is rebirths car that leads to some-more samsara as well as suffering. Those who teach it, we suspect, work for Mara a Evil One (you know that dudehes a Buddhist devil who is a enactment of mortality).
