How does “forgiving others” mean “let yourself go”?
Buddhists believe that greed, anger, ignorance, pride and doubt are the roots of ignorance, and all human troubles come from greed, anger, ignorance, pride and doubt. And where do greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt come from? Buddhism says that "everything is created by the mind." Therefore, what Buddhists call "practice" is mainly to cultivate the mind, learn to let go of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, and get rid of worries.
When someone else does something wrong to you and you forgive him, it means that you let go of the resentment in your heart and release the troubles caused by other people's faults - you no longer take advantage of others. punish yourself for your mistakes. Therefore, "forgiving others is equivalent to letting yourself go" is very reasonable.
"Forgiving others is equivalent to letting yourself go", which also embodies the Confucian way of "forgiveness", which is also "benevolence". "A benevolent person loves others." Who does a "benevolent person" "love"? He loves all people in the world, including good people and evil people, people who have done right things and people who have done wrong things, people who "I" like and people who "I" don't like, and so on. Because of his broad mind, he doesn't care about anything with anyone, so he has neither enemies nor hatred, so he lives comfortably, calmly, and full of joy.
As for people who always look at people for what they dislike and what is wrong, that is, for people who never "forgive others", all they can't contain are worries every day, and all they think about in their hearts is pain.
Why not "let go"? A person who is tightly bound by ropes from left to right must be uncomfortable; a person who is not trapped by various shackles must live very comfortably.
Why don’t we “forgive others and let ourselves go”?
