Forgiveness does not mean the pain or wrong was unimportant. It means we stop allowing anger to control our life.
Acknowledge the Pain
We do not have to pretend we feel nothing in order to forgive mindfully.
Release Resentment Gradually
Letting go is not instant forgetting. It is choosing not to pass the pain onward.
A Dhamma Perspective
Compassion and mindfulness help the heart stop being bound to the old event.
What You Can Do Today
Choose not to respond with harm even while you are still hurt.
One Good Thing Today
Let one painful thought rest for a moment while you breathe mindfully.
Come Back Tomorrow
Practice releasing anger little by little, without forcing the heart.
