Sometimes we are harder on ourself than anyone else. Have you ever woken up and started thinking about mistakes you made 10 years ago? Clearly, that wouldn't be a nice way to wake up someone else!
In this morning retreat we will learn a way of looking at ourselves that goes beyond the superficial faults and mistakes and reveals a special and powerful potential. Buddha gave an analogy that we are like a beggar unknowingly sitting on a crate full of gold. When we really understand the value and possibilities of our own mind, the habit of self criticism will fall away.
