REFLECTION ON VIRTUE
Leader: Let us before the Buddha reflect that on this day or in the
past, others have done us wrong, with body, speech or
mind, whether through malice or lack of tact; let us now,
before the Buddha, sincerely forgive and let go of
grudges.
All: I forgive, remembering how often I too have been at
fault.
I forgive, realizing how quick I am to take offence while
expecting my faults to be forgiven.
I forgive, knowing that to hold ill-will is to cause myself
greater harm and that the desire for revenge will only
bring the heart to turmoil and agitation.
I forgive, resolving not to retaliate for the wrong done to
me by others because of greed, hatred and delusion.
I forgive, knowing that this is the way detachment
blossoms in the heart.
May all beings be free from vengeance. May all beings
be forgiven for their faults.
May my faults be always small and may I be able to
overcome them easily.
(A moment of silence in Meditation)
