in the tranquil stillness of the monastery, we contemplate the actions of those who disregard the sanctity of life, the murderers who walk among us. yet, in our meditations, we understand that each soul has the potential for redemption. preliminary judgments must be set aside, as we encourage these troubled individuals to recommence with a new vision for their lives, one that embraces peace and harmony. this transformation must occur gently, on the qt, allowing them to find their path back to the light without the harsh glare of judgment and societal demands. requests for forgiveness, when whispered from a sincere heart, can stir the cosmos towards healing.
