This famous quote, “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment”, is often attributed to Buddha, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness and living in the present. Its message encourages us to let go of regrets about the past and anxieties about the future, focusing instead on the here and now. This wisdom is a cornerstone of Buddhist philosophy, which teaches that true peace and clarity come from being fully present in the moment.

Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, was a spiritual leader and teacher in ancient India (around the 5th–4th centuries BCE). His teachings form the foundation of Buddhism, a path to spiritual awakening and enlightenment.
