The reason why we suffer after failing is because we feel ashamed (i.e. our pride is hurt), and/or we feel like we’ve missed out on an opportunity in life (this is due to our inferiority complex/greed).Through meditation we can get rid of our pride, inferiority complex, and greed. The more we do this, the less we will get hung up in situations where things don’t go as we had hoped.
By meditating on myself every day, I took my child one step at a time, little by little. I no longer worry about his future. I had many difficulties raising my son, but thanks to these difficulties, I was able to mature. It makes the happy moments even more precious.
Through meditation, I was able to look back on myself objectively, and free myself from that mind world of pictures, which was the cause of my stress. As I meditated more my self-centered mind became wider and wider and I could understand myself and others so much better. I could see that this wider mind was my true mind as my happiness kept increasing.
Through this method, I was able to accept that I am at fault for my actions due to my self-centered mind. I was able to throw away the guilt & regret that I had been holding on to for so long. This method has allowed me to re-discover HOPE and a positive, optimistic outlook.
