I'm back from an amazing week of workshops for the 11.11.11 Gathering and have had some requests about one of the prayers I had attendees recite after the Cord Cutting Ceremony.
Buddhist Forgiveness Prayer
If I have harmed anyone, in any way,
either knowingly or unknowingly,
through my own confusions,
I ask for forgiveness.
If anyone has harmed me in any way,
either knowingly or unknowingly,
through their own confusions,
I forgive them.
And if there is a situation
I am not yet ready to forgive,
I forgive myself for that.
For all the ways that I harm my Self,
judge or be unkind to my Self,
negate, doubt or belittle my Self,
I forgive my Self for that.
