Kammā Vācanā: Asking for Forgiveness The Buddha taught that we benefit from recognizing our faults and abandoning them. Although the Triple Gem cannot actually forgive us, developing a wish to overcome our shortcomings can lead to our happiness and well-being. Kāyena vācā cittena, pamādena mayā kataṁ Accayaṁ khama me bhante, Bhūri-pañña tathāgata Kāyena vācā cittena, pamādena mayā kataṁ Accayaṁ khama me dhamma, Sanditthika akālika. Kāyena vācā cittena, pamādena mayā kataṁ Accayaṁ khama me saṅgha, puññak-kettaṁ anuttara. Translation: If, due to negligence, I have done some wrong, by body, speech, or mind, Forgive me of that offense, O Bhante, perfect One of vast wisdom. If, due to negligence, I have done some wrong, by body, speech, or mind, Forgive me of that offense, O Dhamma, visible and unaffected by time. If, due to negligence, I have done some wrong, by body, speech, or mind, Forgive me of that offense, O Sangha, supreme field of merit
