EVERYTHING THAT HUMAN BEINGS FEEL

While we are sitting in meditation, we are simply exploring humanity and all of creation in the form of ourselves. We can become the world’s greatest experts on anger, jealousy, and self-deprecation, as well as on joyfulness, clarity, and insight. Everything that human beings feel, we feel. We can become extremely wise and sensitive to all of humanity and the whole universe simply by knowing ourselves, just as we are.

The poignant message was forwarded on to the journalist who wrote the article. “I found it buried in my in-box … only by chance was I curious enough about the subject line — “Customer Feedback” — to open the email from a man named Larry Israelson.” What follows is a profoundly moving story of the power of forgiveness.
