Key Takeaways

Presence over past/future: True peace is found by fully embracing the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or fearing the future.

Ego is illusion: Much of human suffering comes from identifying with the ego, the false self built on thought, memory, and identity.

Awareness is transformative: Simply observing your thoughts without judgment creates space for consciousness and healing.
