In a talk at Plum Village in France, Sister Hoi Nghiem shared:
"Someone asked me the question, how can I forgive people? If the suffering is still there, it's really difficult to forgive. So it is why healing is very important for forgiveness. If the wound is still there, is really difficult to forgive. Of course understanding compassion can help us to forgive people. But sometimes our compassion, our understanding is not enough; it's not strong enough to forgive. So go back to our self to take care of our wound and to heal our wound. And when we can heal our wound, we can forgive, we can accept."
