My question would be...can you forgive everything? Is it possible to forgive everything? And How?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yes it is possible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I say that out of his experiences. Those that have undergone a lot of injustice and suffering.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He has survived many wars in Vietnam and many people have done injustice to his...to him, to his people,to his nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But compassion is possible and forgiveness is possible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you look at those people who have inflicted a lot of suffering to us, and they will see their suffering.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They have been caught in a situation where they cannot be truly happy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And compassion rise in our heart and when compassion rise in our heart we can forget, we can forgive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The willingness to forgive is not enough, even if you want to forgive but can not forgive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Only true understanding can bring about forgiveness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that kind of understanding is possible only when you, you see their suffering.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They have done horrible things out of their anger, out of their disinclination, their ignorance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And we know that people who have a lot of craving, who have a lot of disscommunication, a lot of anger...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
...who do not have any kind any, anything like compassion and these...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
...these people are not happy people at all, even if they have they are very powerfull,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have a lot of money, power and things like that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And we can see their suffering, and because of his practise I can see that suffering...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I feel sorry for them and therefore forgiveness is now only their problem.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that applies to the people who make us suffer. Those who come and invade us...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and destroyed our home, our family, our even parents who don't know how to love us,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
...who impose their ideas on us. We can see their suffering and understanding the suffering...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
...and understanding the suffering, and we have compassion. That compassion allows us to forgive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tai? does not hold any resentment any...it can embrace everyone in his compassion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The love of the Buddah is possible.
