Meditation:
All evil karma, ever committed by me of old,
On account of my beginningness, greed, anger and ignorance,
Born of my body, mouth and thoughts,
Now I attone for it all.
The three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance
are the root cause of harmful thoughts, words,
and actions. Each of these qualities arise because
we are not comfortable with the way things are.
How can I stop a spiraling descent into fear and violence? Forgiveness is the first step. We see that all of us are capable of acting from greed, anger, and ignorance, and than we forgive the transgressor, not the act.
Just one act of forgiveness can change our whole lives and pervade the whole universe.
