About This Teaching

Ajahn Dtun explains how to hold the future without anxiety. Once we see that the future is uncertain, there is no need to worry too much about it.

Making plans is fine. But once plans have been made, we return to establishing mindfulness in the present, because the causes that shape the future arise here, in the present moment. The teaching turns attention from worry about what is coming to care for what is being done now.
