Liberative, or Transcendent, Dependent Arising describes an arc that runs from suffering (dukkha) to liberation, including many beautiful qualities like faith, joy, and tranquility. It shows how the mind gradually untangles through a lawful process.
Forgiveness practice complements and strengthens brahma-vihara practice. It can also clear subtle obstacles, allowing concentration and insight practice to deepen.
