Forgiveness of Short comings.

Kayena vaca cittena 
Pamadena maya katam
Accayam Khama me Bhante
Bhuri-panna Tathagata!


If by deeds, speech or thought heedlessly,
I have done anything wrong,
forgive me O Master! O Teacher, Most Wise!


Been reading again on the Buddha's teaching and came across this article from the Nalanda Buddhist Institute. I would like to share this with you with hope you can find insight and start applying it on your daily life. 


Living Life the Buddhist way. We have the ability to do so: How is it done? By following these 8 core values: 



The Eight Core Values :

1. Compassion
 - being kind and supportive of others in our thoughts, speech and conduct sincerely

2. Courage - being strong and determined in the face of adversities and challenges in life

3. Respect - being respectful of our elders, teachers, fellow practitioners, and all sentient beings

4. Integrity - living by righteous means, principles and values

5. Service - living not just for ourselves, but for the welfare of others as well

6. Faith - having right understanding and deep confidence in the Buddha-Dhamma

7. Learning - continuous learning, growth and improvement as an individual and as a community

8. Reflection - living mindfully and purposefully towards liberation from afflictions



Do share this with your friends and may we all live in harmony with ourselves, the world and nature! 


Saddhu!
