I love how Sr True Dedication said her parents had not been able to resolve their anger. No blame or shame but simply not having the opportunity and so she will work on resolving the shared ancestral anger.

Peace is curiosity for our common condition and our shared fragility… peace is accepting and con-tainting with love our hard feelings…

Did the second person asked for her face to be blurred? I remember watching this when it was posted and there was no blur.

Thank you deeply Sisters and Sister who is Practicing deeply. You have touched my heart in spaces it needed to be touched. Please know that your Presence in this offering has supported at least one person and that will ripple out to the people I am in conflict with at this moment.

Amazingly skillful replies to the woman with deep suffering caused by abuse. I was very impressed by how the monastics handled the balance between sharing and being personal without tipping over into talking too much about ones own experiences. Thank for you showing compassion AND offering a way to practise to handle it. 🙏🏻

[@rouenom1323]

Love the story of the view of the love between man and women

[@misinca]
