| The theme of this retreat, “Noble Mind, Fearless Heart.” helps us reflect on furthering our discipleship in nobility — to develop the path to awakening by growing in peace, kindness, wisdom, and compassion. Fearless in the good, we learn to forgive, purify the heart, and heal. This is our birthright. The heart is our monastery, and skillful living, our core practice. |

Anger, Forgiveness, and Gratitude

How can we remain calm and inwardly strong when we feel anger or fear, greed or grief? Meditate with new eyes – keen, open, attentive, and dare to forgive even difficult feelings or troubling conditions. Stay present, stop and witness fear's end, because stopping to see is just like turning on a light. There is more clarity to know fear as impermanent, and to observe the nuance of the fear of fear itself. It's not my fear or my anger but unpleasant sensation. So we depersonalize and pour gratitude into the new moment with the quintessential balm of peace – forgiveness.
