Can You Apologize? A Mindful Inquiry

Apologizing is such a challenging skill that the Buddha himself said that learning to do it well is "THE essential factor in achieving purity in thought, word, and deed." This new talk explores how we can use our mindfulness practice to become better at this, and also how we can better discern whether we are either receiving or giving a real apology - or not. It includes a 15-mintue meditation at the end, designed to help us  accept when an apology we expected was either lacking, or maybe caused more harm than the original hurt.
