032-Forgiveness - Buddhism in daily life

from Buddhism in daily life - Mindfulness in every day tasks · host Shaolin-Rainer

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 - John F.
