It means to live in mindfulness: to let go of the past and the future, and to look deeply and discover the true nature of all that is taking place in the present moment. To fully realise this is to meet our appointment with life and to experience peace, joy, and happiness this realisation brings. A wonderful addition to the library of anyone interested in Buddhist studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Our appointment with life is in the present moment.
