Teaching #13: This Moment is Like This
Ajahn Sumedho repeatedly says, “This moment is like this,” which sums up the sense of being fully present that you are trying to capture with the second insight of the First Noble Truth ... In all aspects of your life, you come to fully know your experience of suffering by noticing its specific qualities.
Chapter 5, Pg. 41-42
For your reflection: Make “this moment is like this” a focus of your mindfulness practice. When you’re meditating, practice noticing, “Back pain [or any other body sensation] feels like this,” and “Disappointment [or any other emotion] feels like this.”
