Question
Last August 10, I left my former partner because I had been a victim of domestic violence at this person’s hands.
Since leaving, I have become interested in Buddhism. It helps me greatly on my journey toward healing inside and out. My question is: what advice would you give someone who has just experienced domestic violence and wants to heal their wounds? Thank you very much for your answer, Master.

Answer from Master Kosen
Make the decision within yourself never again to accept violence against you, under any pretext or with any compromise, whether it comes from someone else or from yourself.
