How much do people think about others and themselves in lives? CBT gained chances to think about other people and ourselves through ‘As We Are the Buddha’ and ‘Meditation of Affirmation.’‘As We Are the Buddha’ gave us time to praise the people around us and to hope others’ works go well. Giving and receiving the praise made me shameful because I was stingy at praising other people usually. However, as bowing three times, hoping others go well will be needed for modern people who consider themselves very important.
‘Meditation of Affirmation’ offered us chances to understand people around us. This time is important and needed for busy modern people who don’t seem to have enough time to think of themselves. Moreover, I noticed that merits can be changed to demerits, and demerits can be changed to merits according to people’s thoughts.
It was just an easy and simple meditation. However, it was an important time that made me think of myself and other people again. I thought this short time was really needed for modern people.
