The Forgiveness Path

We all hurt and have been hurt in our life.

According to the common approach, all of our life experiences are kept in our body.

According to Buddhism all our experiences are present in the moment.

What is forgiveness for you?

There is not correct or wrong answer but everyone must define it their own way. However, in order to fully forgive we must forgive ourselves and value the forgiveness deeply.

We have to empty our mind to reach full forgiveness. How do we get there?

There are three ways we can prepare ourselves to ask for forgiveness:

1. Write what brought you to a point of anger in which you need to ask forgiveness, and what are you asking

2. Sharing your concerns and doubts with others can supply a sense of relief

3. To meditate so you can examine deeply what happened

Once doing that we should ask yourself are we ready? When the time comes we will feel that internally

The next step would be asking forgiveness, this consist of three parts:

1. Asking forgiveness from those I hurt

2. Forgive yourself for the pain experienced

3. And the toughest one- asking forgiveness from those who hurt you. It is important to breathe deeply and keep trying. In order to solve the conflict, blaming the other person may not be the most effective resolution. Therefore, just apologize and try to understand different perspectives.

Forgiveness statement can be for example:

“I remember I hurt my self, causing grave suffering and I choose to forgive myself for all my mistakes. ״

For long term inner peace we have to walk in a new path and state of mind for real forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not a weakness but a great strength , we have to believe the way we walk in though sometimes we can see only fog.
