An Auspicious Day

from the Bhaddekaratta Sutta Middle Length Discourse 131

The Buddha said,
Don’t chase the past
Or long for the future.
The past is left behind;

The future is not yet reached.
Right where it is, have insight
Into whatever phenomena is present;
Not faltering and not agitated, 

By knowing it one develops the mind.
Ardently do what should be done today –
who knows, death may come tomorrow.
There is no bargaining with Mortality 

And his great army.
Whoever dwells thus ardent,
 – active day and night –
Is, says the peaceful sage,
One who has an auspicious day
