Some Dharma Advice #3<\/strong><\/p>\n

[21]<\/strong>
\nPast
\n<\/b>
\nLearn lessons from the past
\nand let the hurt go.
\nIts lessons are all it is worth,
\nwhile the hurt is worthless.<\/p>\n

[22]<\/b>
\nLessons
\n<\/b>
\nIf still hurting from the past,
\nit means its lessons
\nare not fully learnt yet –
\nincluding the lesson to let hurt go.<\/p>\n

[23]
\nForgiveness
\n<\/b>
\nRemember to forgive,
\nbut remember what learnt.
\nForget the grudge,
\nbut forget not what learnt.<\/p>\n

[24]
\nPain
\n<\/b>
\nIt might feel painful to forgive now,
\nbut it will feel more painful 
\nto bear grudges for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n

[25]<\/b>
\nApology<\/b><\/p>\n

Why punish yourself further
\nby expecting apologies and amendments 
\nfrom those who wronged you?<\/p>\n

[26]<\/b>
\nAgreement<\/b><\/p>\n

Forgiveness does not mean
\ncondoning wrong done to you,
\nit means to not do wrong to you,
\nby bearing hurtful grudges.<\/p>\n

[27]<\/b>
\nCourage<\/b><\/p>\n

If suicide due to despair
\nis not an act of courage,
\nbut the lack of courage,
\nhow can it lead to greater courage 
\nto face similar despair in the next life?   <\/p>\n

[28]<\/b>
\nControl<\/b>  <\/p>\n

Spiritual refuge tend to be sought 
\nin one(s) believed to have greater control over oneself, 
\nbut the one with the greatest control is always oneself,
\neven with others offering great support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

[29]<\/b>
\nGrudge<\/b><\/p>\n

Do learn on and move on –
\nto increase learning,
\nand advance to the next lesson.<\/p>\n

Do not grudge on and suffer on –
\nwhich lessens learning, 
\nand misses the next lesson.<\/p>\n

[30]<\/b>
\nPeace<\/b><\/p>\n

While both suffering from grudges lose peace of mind,
\nthe one who lets them go wins peace for oneself,
\neven if the other does not make peace with this. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
