250725 What I learned in my studies this morning 5

Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Walking with Your Parents


And this is the root of the answer. Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Community.

Not until I can surpass the easy part — walking with my loved ones, who love me, who are inclined to cooperate and live in harmony — can I make progress to being a better being, be it Buddha or Boddhisatva. 

If I want to be better, I must 'love my enemies as myself.'
