Questions are précised - 00:12 Q1 My practice of forgiveness turns into shame when I consider how I ever did that to that person. 08:58 Q2 I have had a health ailment for about a decade and there are moments of deep pain.

04:02 Q1 - How can one truly love oneself? Many times even though we do an entire project we blame ourselves for some mistake and focus on the negative things. 10:25 Q2 - I'd like to know if faith is all about being positive? What about the things that we really can't do? Is accepting that an aspect of faith as well? Ajahn mentions 1) the Anatta-lakkhana Sutta: The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic. It is available here: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn22/sn22.059.than.html 2) Adittapariyaya Sutta: The Fire Sermon, available here: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn35/sn35.028.than.html
