Can You Apologize? A Mindful Inquiry

Published: Sept. 10, 2022, 5:57 p.m.

Apologizing is such a challenging skill that the Buddha himself said that learning to do it well is \u201cTHE essential factor in achieving purity in thought, word, and deed.\u201d This new talk explores how we can use our mindfulness practice to become better at this, and also how we can better discern whether we are either receiving or giving a real apology - or not. It includes a 15-mintue meditation at the end, designed to help us \xa0accept when an apology we expected was either lacking, or maybe caused more harm than the original hurt.
