A Day For Forgiveness And Humility | 1 Nov 2024
by Ajahn Anan
Ajahn Anan emphasises that spiritual virtue is found in being humble and giving forgiveness to one another. He explains that suffering arises from the delusion of "self" and "mine," which fuels endless greed. True peace is found in knowing "enough" in everything. The heart becomes heavy when we attach to things; therefore, we must practice forgiveness, beginning with forgiving ourselves first. The path to a heavenly state and ultimate freedom (Nibbana) is built on Sila (moral conduct), which should be guarded by Hiri (moral shame) and Ottappa (fear of negative karma). By continuously practising meditation and recognising that all things are not-self (anatta), we can let go of attachment and attain Nibbana, the supreme freedom.
