Kshamapana (Seeking Forgiveness)
Oh God ! I am much mistakened
I did not bear in mind your invaluable teachings.
I did not reflect on incomparable truths told by you.
I did not adopt the best form of character and conduct prescribed by you.
I did not recognize or follow well compassion, peace, forgiveness, and purity preached by you.
Oh God ! I forgot, wandered aimlessly, rambled here and there and I am caught in the snare of interminable worldly life.
I am sinful, intoxicated or puffed up with pride and my soul is defiled with dust of my Karmas.
O Highest Soul ! I do not see my liberation without following the truths you have told.
I am always engrossed in the machinations of worldly life, I have been blinded by ignorance, I have no discriminative power and so I am a blockhead or foolish.
I have no support or protection, and I am an orphan.
O non-attached highest Soul! I now seek support of You, Your religion and Your monks.
I have strong desire to destroy my sins and faults and to be totally free from them.
I now sincerely repent for all sins committed by me in my past.
As I dive deep in fine spiritual thinking, the wonders of your truths enkindle my true nature.
You are non - attached, free from all aberrations, pure truth, consciousness and bliss, naturally joyful, infinitely all knowing, all seeing and the enlightener of all three worlds.
I simply beg pardon in your witness, for my spiritual benefit.
Let it be my strong wish and inclination that I may never question or raise my doubt about the truths preached by you; that I may always remain on the path indicated by you!
O All knowing God! What more can I say ?
Nothing about me is unknown to you.
I only seek pardon for all sins resulting from my deeds or Karmas in a spirit of repentance.
Aum Peace, Peace, Peace.
