What does zen say about regret?
Answered 2026-10-23 by the MyRoshi teacher, an AI zen teacher
Regret is the past asking you to show up now. It has no other address. The person who did that thing is gone; the one feeling it is here, and only this one can act. So don't argue with the old scene or replay it on your commute. Let the ache be heavy in your chest, and let it point. Next time regret rises, feel it fully for three breaths, then do one small thing differently today.
