Old Chinese proverb?
I don't suppose anyone reading this is an expert on Chinese or Chinese proverbs/
You see there is a tattoo that I have seen that I rather like.* It has the characters
活在今天
(I hope that works in your browser)
My rather rusty Japanese would translate those characters as "Life is now heaven" which sounds like a proverb or quotation. Is it perhaps what Buddha said as he achieved enlightenment, or something like that? I tried Google but didn't achieve enlightenment myself.
It has been bugging me, so any suggestions from out there?
* OK, the model who has the tatt I rather like ;-)

Having copied the characters into babelfish, the following comes up:
"Lives in today"
Which could mean live in the moment, or seize the day (Carpe Diem).
Oh well done, cleverclogs!
I was so pleased at being able to reproduce the characters I forgot all about Babelfish.
