• When we forgive, we are freed from
our anger and bitterness because of
the actions and/or words of another.

 The Beauty of Nature
• For a hug, for every sunrise and
sunset, to eat together as a family,
are our miracles.
• These kinds of experiences can be
truly moments of grace.
• During this experience, we need to
offer praise.

 Vulnerability
• To be invulnerable is somehow inhuman. To
be vulnerable is to be human.
• To work in the office or study in school,
without acknowledging the help of other
people in our lives, is to live without
meaning and direction.
• Such moments of poverty and dependence
on others are not a sign of weakness but
being true with ourselves.

 Failure
• Our failures force us to confront our

• Such acceptance of our failures makes us
hope and trust that all can be brought into
good.

• Without our loneliness, we can realize that
our dependence on other people or
gadgets is a possessiveness that we can
be free from.

 Love
• To love is to experience richness,
positivity, and transcendence.
• Where in times of ecstatic moments or
struggles, the love for a friend, between
family members or a significant person,
can open in us something in the other
which takes us beyond ourselves.
• Life is full of risks, fears, and commitment,
pain and sacrificing and giving up thing/s
we want for the sake of the one we love.
• In a Buddhist view, the more we love, the

 Seatwork
• How do you view suffering (as a blessing
or a curse)?
• How can forgiveness free us from anger?
