The Present Moment and the Doorway to Clarity, Love and Joy: Weekend Online Meditation Retreat - Tucson Community Meditation Center, April 29th - 30th, 2022

Arinna gives a dharma talk on allowing and opening to suffering, and the role of forgiveness in this process:

"When the Buddha said in the first noble truth, 'there is suffering,' I so deeply appreciated that because it names a reality that often isn't named culturally. And often we aren't allowed or supported to grieve that, to say this is part of being a human being […] And so we live with this grief and internalize it as though something's wrong with us, judge ourselves, blame ourselves, because we think we should be better"
