As they prepare for the long walk, pilgrims are taught to take careful leave from others: to ask for a blessing, forgive and seek forgiveness, exchange tokens of kindness, or simply wave Adieu. This phase cannot be rushed. It fortifies the seeker for the trials ahead.
With a bow of gratitude to Jack Kornfield*, I invite you to join his meditation on forgiveness and loving-kindness (approx. 20 minutes). Repeat as needed ♥.
“Jack Kornfield trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India and Burma. He has taught meditation since 1974 and is one of the key teachers to introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West” (https://jackkornfield.com).
