"Do not dwell in the past,

do not dream of the future,

concentrate the mind on the present moment."

อย่าอาศัยอยู่ในอดีต

อย่าฝันถึงอนาคต

เพ่งเลงจิตบนปัจจุบัน

Buddhist section of Thaivisa.com. Quote attributed to the Lord Buddha.

อย่าอาศัยอยู่ในอดีต

yaa[LL] a'sai[RS] yuu[LL] nai[sM] aa'diit[LL]

dont / dwell / live, be / in / past

อย่าฝันถึงอนาคต

yaa fan theung anaakhot

dont / dream / reach; about / future

เพ่งเลงจิตบนปัจจุบัน

phoeng loeng jit bon pat'juban

rest / / mind / on / present

Dont dwell on the past

Dont dream about the future

Rest your mind on the present moment

Maybe somebody else can copy and edit the tones for the second two lines before I come back and can do it myself, I dont have time right now.

It was a translation by Mrs Scouse in a thread in this forum.

อย่าอาศัยอยู่ในอดีต

yaa[LL]a'sai[RS] yuu[LL] nai[sM] aa'diit[LL]

dont  /  dwell  /    live, be / in    /    past 

อย่าฝันถึงอนาคต

yaa[LM] fan[sR] theung[sR] anaa[LM]khot[sL]

dont / dream / reach; about / future

เพ่งเลงจิตบนปัจจุบัน
A much amended line! Latest version seems to be

เพิ่งเล็งจิตบนปัจจุบัน

phoeng[LF] leng[sM] jit[sL] bon[sM] pat[sM]ju[sM]ban[sM]

rest / / mind / on / present

Dont dwell on the past

Dont dream about the future

Rest your mind on the present moment

Done, and almost to Meadish's style (i.e. marking all the lengths, even though the vowel letters indicate it.)
