Humans are strange animals.
Because of their obsession with the present, humans forget the past and lose the future.
Yet it is precisely due to the motivation of the past and the fantasies of the future that people become more obsessed with the present!
People are attached to the present but ignore the very next moment.
The present moment in the eyes of practitioners is not the same as the present that ordinary people cling to. People's obsession with the present is still a future—like when the thought of enjoyment arises at the next moment, and then they desperately pursue enjoyment, yet when they are enjoying, they can't help but think about the next enjoyment.
The present moment in cultivation is the awareness and experience of the spatial state at the moment the thought arises.
