EVERYTHING IS A MOMENT ~ Tai Situ Rinpoche
(Transcription shared from Thubten Kway)
”As I move my fingers from here to there (moving hand from left to right), you see my hand is moving, that is an illusion because everything you see is already gone when you see it. It is a moment and that moment is not yet established.
Right now, we have a smallest particle and the fastest thing, light; when the light passes through that smallest particle, that is a moment. So when I do this (moving hand from left to right), many moments are gone and what you are seeing is a reflection that is left behind, a trace behind, ... it has already happened.
When you are hearing what I am saying, actually, the sound has already happened, it is already gone. It is wonderful, but it is an illusion, it is a wonderful illusion. We don't feel scared about it, we don't feel fear for it. We are not disappointed by it but the truth is: when you see something, when you hear something, it is already gone, long time back, millions of moments ahead and you are seeing and hearing it millions of moments later; same thing with taste, same thing with touch, everything.”
