Over the course of ten Compass of Zen classes, a student has begun to recognize the karmic entanglement with their mother. Since childhood, there was a deep yearning for her approval, which led to discomfort in spending time with her alone. Through the teachings, the student has come to see that the root of this suffering lies in attachment to the concepts of “I,” “mine,” and “me.” During a recent lunch with the mother, the student consciously chose to perceive her simply as she is—without the habitual lens of insecurity, ego, or verbal aggression.
