Most of us have lived through painful, humiliating or traumatic
experiences, leaving us haunted and conditioned by reactions that
trap us in ongoing cycles of feeling hurt and hurting others. And
on the wider political scale, we have obviously yet to learn the
art of responding well to the hurts of terrorism, exploitation, or
more local conflicts of interest. Either we resort to reciprocal
violence, or claim too readily the status of innocent victim. The
book begins by looking at three predominant negative responses. It
then draws on a variety of traditions from the author's own
Buddhist Christian perspective, exploring how deep meditation can
help take us beyond the negative narratives of hurt. The author
finds ambivalent but broadly positive images in childhood innocence
and the tragicomic fool, and urges the importance of a radical and
unconditional forgiveness of self and others that is grounded in
both Buddhist Emptiness and the risen Christ. By these means, the
habit of accusation that so easily dominates self and society can
give way to humour and mutual wonder.
