Stephen Procter guides you in the insight meditation skill of cultivating forgiveness to help your mind put down preoccupation with the past and abide in the present. As long as we do not forgive our self or others, we will be living a life conditioned by our relationship to the past. By putting down our pain through forgiveness, the pains of the past come to an end and awareness more easily dwells within the present experience creating the conditions for wisdom to arise.
