Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation
(和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is
a(n)
36 of reconciliation. It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing
37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the
38 qualities of the other person. The second step -- expressing regret, is to
39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her
40 . This requires humility (謙遜), and the
41 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we
42 our own hurt with mindf
ul and loving
43 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and
44 our words. If we
45 the other person, his heart will
46 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand
47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings
48 we can understand him more deeply. If a strong
49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply
50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes
51 . The other person can
52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy pr
acticing
"Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends
53 . By doing this, we will
54 misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise,
55 we take care of our children.
