How to Learn to Let Go of Things    wiki

Letting go of past hurts and injustices can be difficult. People often want some sort of closure or revenge for having been hurt. Unfortunately, holding on to this kind of pain only makes things worse on you. To move on with your life, you have to let go of the past. Try to express your pain, forgive, and move on with your life.

    1

    Connect with another person. Go to social gatherings and spend time with friends or make new ones. Allowing yourself to have genuine connections with other people will start giving you positive experiences to talk about and relate to. These experiences can start shifting a negative mindset to a more optimistic one.

      

    2

    Find a creative outlet. Create works of art to help your brain integrate emotions and thoughts. By creating something, you form new neural pathways in your brain and utilize your entire brain during the process. Aside from being a great way to pour your focus into something positive, creating a work of art can be healing.

        This does not have to be a “traditional” kind of art. You might choose to paint a picture, but you can create art in many other ways, too. For example, you could build a birdhouse as a creative project, or use online coloring apps or puzzles.

    3

    Join a support group. Support groups will allow you to connect directly with people who are struggling with the same pains. These groups will allow you to share your story and encourage others with similar stories. You will also be held accountable for taking steps to heal yourself since you will be talking about it at each meeting.

  

 4

    Take time to remember the person. Whether the person is an ex, a friend, or a relative you need to take some time to remember your relationship. Remember the good parts as well as the bad parts. Make an effort to see the person as a whole and look past the one incident that has hurt you. Doing so will help you empathize with the person and forgive them.

        For example, if your friend said something that hurt you, acknowledge that the same friend has said things that made you happy before, too. You don’t have remain friends, but you will retain a level of respect for them as a person. Assess if only one or two things have been said, or if there has been a repetitive pattern over time.

        

    5

    Move on with your life. Let go of the things or people that have hurt you in the past. Holding onto this hurt only hurts you, not the person. This hurt can also be carried over to new relationships, friendships, and even careers. Learn a lesson from this pain, but forgive the person and move on, and remember that forgiving does not mean that you return to having the same degree of connection or intimacy. It has more to do with freeing yourself up.

        Forgive an old partner for hurting you in a relationship.

        Forgive a friend that did something wrong.

        Forgive your family members for things that happened in your childhood.

An Almighty Con? Taiwan’s ‘Purple Shirts’ and their Master

Why you need to know Former members of the massive religious group are speaking out about high fees, harassment, and the leader's spurious claims. Listen powerd by Cyberon Followers of a self-proclaimed Buddhist guru in Taiwan are handing over tens of millions of dollars in membership fees and donations to his organization each year, former members of the sect have told The News Lens. Master Miaochan (妙禪師父), founder of Rulaizong (如來宗), is netting yearly membership proceeds of NT$72 million (US$2.4 million), coupled with monthly donations of as much as NT$86 million (US$2.8 million), the former members say. The organization, which claims to practice Zen Buddhism, was founded by Miaochan in 2004 and is understood to have about 80,000 followers across Taiwan. Followers of Miaochan credit anything good that happens in their lives — from job promotions to finding love — to the protection and blessing of their master. They claim the leader’s healing powers include curing people who have suffered strokes and those diagnosed with early-stage cancer. Members pay NT$1,000 to NT$2,000 (US$33 to US$66) in monthly fees to the organization. The leader claims the contributions will help him bring salvation to his believers and the donations are collected at their 24 large-scale prayer sessions held each month. It is at these prayer sessions where Miaochan makes appearances, and members are encouraged to attend at least one session every month. A local bank, Yuanta Bank, offers members the “Rulai Card,” which automatically deducts NT$2,000 from cardholders' accounts as donations to the group every month. “Josh,” a former member who now works to convert people out of Rulaizong, believes that at least 800,000 people have participated in introductory sessions and paid the base member fee of NT$300. “From that fee alone, Miaochan has made at least NT$24 million over the past 13 years,” he told TNL. A shady record Every week, up to 5,000 people wearing the iconic purple T-shirts gather at Tianmu Sports Park in Taipei just to get a glimpse of their spiritual leader, who claims to be a “living Buddha” on par with Jesus Christ, the Prophet Muhammad and Siddhartha Gautama. Miaochan’s real name is Liu Jin-lung (劉錦隆). According to the Rulaizong website, he became a “Buddha” in 1998 and established Rulaizong to spread his views. Rulaizong claims it now has 110,000 members, although “John,” a source close to Miaochan, says this does not account for the 30,000 people who have left the organization. Prior to founding his own organization, Miaochan was a high-ranking disciple under a different Zen Buddhism teacher, Master Miaotian (妙天). According to blog posts written by his former classmates, he left after being accused of overcharging people who were buying cubicles for cremation urns from Miaotian’s organization. He was not charged but his reputation was damaged, they say. While Rulaizong claims to accept anyone who is interested in joining, former members told TNL that the organization does not welcome Miaotian followers. “Chen,” a former teacher at Rulaizong — the organization is understood to have 30 paid head teachers, and over 80 volunteer teachers — was a member for five years and had access to the Tainan prayer center’s monthly meetings.
