Forgiveness

Forgiveness: Opening Our Hearts and Moving On

 Saturday, March 31

Forgiveness is a strong and courageous mind that frees us from unnecessary pain.

By dwelling on past harm done to us and blaming others, we continue to harm ourselves.

Buddha teaches us how to identify the real source of our problems and how to stay relaxed

and happy through deeply accepting. Through this wisdom, we can learn to forgive others,

let go of the past, and move in the direction of healthy, loving relationships and a happy life.

Known by her students for her warmth and sense of humor, Nyema’s teachings are suitable for everyone, including those without much experience with meditation or Buddhism.Nyema currently teaches at Ganden Center in Columbia.
