Recognizing, Forgiveness and Letting Go - Wisdom of Silence -By : Ajahn Brahm

Recognizing, Forgiveness and Letting Go
For those of you who have difficulty meditating, it is because you have not learned how to release at the time of meditation. Why can not we let go of the simple things like the past or the future? Why do we not care what someone has done and said to us today? The more you think about it, the more bodohlah become. As the old saying, "When someone calls you an idiot, the more often you remember, the more frequent they call you idiot!" If you immediately release it, you'll never think about it again. At most they just call you an idiot once. Already! Done! You are free!
Why do we imprison ourselves in our past? Why we still can not let go? Do you really want to be free? And admit it, forgive and release. Acknowledge, forgive and release anything that hurt you, whether it's something done or said by someone, or what has happened in your life. For example, someone in your family has died and you argue with yourself that they are not supposed to die.Or you have lost your job and you think non-stop that this is not supposed to happen. Or just because something is not working properly, then you are so obsessed that it is not fair. You can punish yourself for things you do for the rest of your life if you want, but no one is forcing you to do so. Instead you can confess, forgive and learn to forgive. Disposal is the process of learning. The release provides the freedom for us to facing the future with ease, and break the chain attachment to the past.
Recently I spoke with several people about the community of

Predict the future (Collection of Ajahn Brahm's lecture)


Many people who want to know the future. Some people are so not patiently waiting for what will happen, so they began to seek the services of shamans and soothsayers. I have a warning for you regarding the soothsayers: do not believe the forecasters are poor!
The monks who practice meditation is considered as a great astrologer, but usually they are not easy to work with.
One day, a race which has long been a disciple of Ajahn Chah asked the professor to predict its future. Ajahn Chah rejected: the good monk-tellers did not predict. But the student persisted. He reminds Ajahn Chah how many times he has been funded food, how much money has he donated to viharanya, and how he was chauffeuring Ajahn Chah by car and costs from him, ignoring his family and his own work
