Forgiving...
When Dalai Lama was asked if forgiving one’s enemies can make a difference to one’s spiritual progress, his response was:
“Yes, yes, there is no doubt. It’s crucial. It’s one of the most important things. It can change one’s life. To reduce hatred and other destructive emotions, you must develop their opposites—compassion and kindness. If you have strong compassion, strong respect for others, then forgiveness is much easier. Mainly for this reason: I do not want to harm another. Forgiveness allows you to be in touch with these positive emotions. This will help with spiritual development.”
Have you ever forgiven the unforgivable?
