1. ASKING FOR FORGlVENESS
If in the past I have done wrong to other beings

little, whether through malice or lack of tact, here in
silent solitude, with a sincere and open heart
I acknowledge my transgressions and ask to
be forgiven.
I ask to be forgiven, not wishing to conceal my faults or
make excuses for them.
I ask to be forgiven knowing how I have complained
when others do me wrong.
I ask to be forgiven hoping my bad example will not
lead others into wrong.
I ask to be forgiven, feeling truly sorry and promising
to make amends.
I ask to be forgiven, resolving to practice restraint in
the future.
May all beings be free from vengeance.
May all beings be forgiven for their faults.
May my faults always be small and easily overcome.
