Seeking Parent’s Forgiveness before Ordination
“Uk sa, all of us assembled here on this day, bowing in farewell to mother and father,
brothers and sisters, and all amongst the Buddhist congregation here, so that we may take ordination;
Throughout immeasurable life that we have been born and reborn in this cycle of existence,
if we have offense against any of you with or without your knowledge,
intentionally or without intention,
that we can recall or that is without recall throughout uncountable
lifetimes or in this present lifetime: May all assembled here, forgive us our trespasses,
that we may be pure in ordination and unblemished in our Brahma-faring in our pursuit of Nirvana in this lifetime.”
