Sister Hoi Nghiem presents the true powers like so:
- Compassion
- Deep looking
- Courage / Cutting through / Letting go
Note that the second power is about understanding – an understanding that looks for the deeper causes for our feelings and our behaviour and that kind of understanding is also an act of love. As Thay put it – understanding is love – and love is understanding.
