"A Zen Master's life is one continuous mistake"
~ Dogen Zenji
I attended sesshin with Roshi Hogen, once upon a time. One of the attendees asked, "Roshi Hogen, you are the Abbott of a Buddhist monastery and took vows of celibacy - and yet you have a wife and children. How do you explain this?"
He pondered for a minute or two and then replied, "Perhaps I failed."

Forgiveness is about making peace with reality. It means you let go of your inner resistance regarding present circumstances and what led to them. As a result, you are free to fully focus on how to move forward productively. Forgiveness does not mean that you approve of what you are forgiving. It is not the same as condoning. When you forgive yourself, it means you are being gentle and honest. When you forgive others, it means you are being compassionate and sane.
