Q: What is forgiveness all about?

J-R: It's not about you forgiving me anything. It's about me forgiving me for giving myself over to the exterior senses and selling myself out and not having a wonderful, joyful life inside. That's the greater forgiveness.

問﹕原諒是關於什麼的？

答﹕這不是關於你原諒我什麼，而是關於我原諒我自己，讓自己走出外在的官感，釋放自己走出那個不開心、不滿意的心境。這才是更偉大的原諒。

Q: Is forgiveness really necessary for spiritual growth?

J-R: You can look at it this way; Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.How do you become pure of heart? ... There are two ways, and in both you need to forgive.The first way is in your heart, where you forgive whatever you did that caused the upset.And the second way is "out there," where you forgive the other person for whatever they did...Then there's a third thing you have to do, and that's to forget it. The forgetting of it is the indicator of the forgiveness of it, and that is the indicator of the pureness of the heart. when you make a mistake, learn from it and don't dwell on it; God is in the business of forgiveness; don't dwell on the past, it no longer exists; take your authority back and stop giving it away to memories.

問﹕原諒是不是靈聖成長中所必需的呢？

答﹕你可以這樣想。祝福是心內最神聖的，透過祝福，我們可以接觸神。那怎麼才可以做得到心靈上的潔淨呢？有兩種方法，而兩種都需要原諒。第一，你先要原諒你自己，原諒自己所造讓自己不開心的錯事。第二，你要原諒別人對你所做的錯事。最後，就是要忘記它。忘記了就是原諒了，也就是潔淨了心靈。

當你做了錯事，從錯誤中學習，而且不要再犯同樣的錯。神會原諒一切，不要住在過去，過去已經不存在了，你要把自主權拿回來，不要把它給了回憶。
