Many of us ordinarily overlook one of the most critical criteria for a meaningful life, which is to be present and not to allow this moment to pass by unnoticed, since it is the present that contains the source of all our success and the potential for our bright future. We may observe that most of our time is spent either ruminating about past events, which are like dreams, or pondering the future, which is yet to be seen, like an unborn child. Allowing our thoughts to be consumed by the past or the future is simply a waste of our precious time, for we will find nothing there to hold onto that can contribute to our well-being. So, it is very important to remain present since it is only here where we can build a meaningful life and eventually attain liberation. Therefore, we should put all our focus and energy into this very moment in order to fulfill the purpose of our life, which is to be happy and share happiness with others.
對於如何定義「有意義的生活」，我們當中有許多人常忽略了最為關鍵的其中一個條件，那就是「活在當下」，並且不要讓當下這一刻在不知不覺中流逝，因為此刻蘊藏了所有成功的起始點和光明未來的可能性。我們可能會觀察到，我們大部分時間都花在琢磨過去的事情（如同做夢），或者盤算著還看不到的未來（如同未出世的嬰孩）。把我們的心思消耗在過去或未來，只是在浪費我們寶貴的時間而已，因為那些東西都與我們的幸福沒有什麼關係。因此，活在當下非常重要，因為唯有如此我們才能營造有意義的生活，並且最終獲得解脫。因此，我們應該把所有的重心和精力放在當下的這一刻，如此才能圓滿我們的人生目標，也就是活得快樂並且與他人分享我們的幸福安樂。
