032-Forgiveness - Buddhism in daily life

Forgiveness


Can you forgive?


Those who understand that human beings are not perfect can
forgive.


When another person misbehaves, we are offended, we have to
consider whether we can and want to forgive the person at all.
Words and deeds can hurt a lot.


But what is even more difficult is to forgive ourselves for our
own mistakes, because our ego constantly plagues us with
reproaches.


Can you forgive yourself?


According to Buddha, we bear no blame at all, since things will
come exactly as they should, depending on our karma. Karma comes
from this life and the last life, and is interlocked and
connected with the destiny of other people.


So if we are not to blame for the wrongdoing of others (or our
own), then as a consequence there is nothing to forgive.


This in turn means that we do not have to "worry about it", but
can relax and wait for the things that might come. Since we do
not have to forgive ourselves or others, we should not waste our
time with hatred and resentment. He did that, she said that, all
is unimportant in real being.


Buddhists cannot forgive because they know there is nothing to
forgive. Those who understand how things are related know that
reality exists only "felt", that only our conception composes the
filters that then determine perception.


"Regulating things", that is an illusion, according to
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, at no time can the location
and the momentum of a particle be determined simultaneously. The
teaching of the teacher of all teachers also says that nothing is
or was determinable.


So, forgive yourself, because there is nothing to forgive.


Forgive other people, for they have only lived their karma.





Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names
