From The Teachers To The Sangha

Over this past year, we may have
harmed you in some way,
knowingly and unknowingly,
by our thoughts, words or actions.
We ask for your forgiveness.
(Bow)

From The Sangha To The Teachers

Over this past year, if you believe that you may have
harmed us in some way,
knowingly and unknowingly,
by your thoughts, words or actions,
we extend our heartfelt forgiveness.
(Bow)

From The Sangha To The Sangha

Over this past year, if you believe that you may have
harmed another sangha member in any way,
or if you believe that another sangha member has harmed you in some way,
knowingly and unknowingly,
by thoughts, words or actions,
we ask for forgiveness
and, to the extent we are able,
we extend our heartfelt forgiveness.
(Bow)

Forgiveness of Self

Finally, over this past year, if you believe that you may have
harmed yourself in any way,
knowingly and unknowingly,
by your thoughts, words or actions,
take this moment to extend a heartfelt forgiveness of yourself.
