________________ 06. SFHSCATHE - Tassa Uttari Sutra 06. Introduction After requesting forgiveness from all living beings of the universe, the next step is to discipline one-self in order to avoid future sins. This is done via Kayotsarga or kaussagga (meditation for certain duration in a motionless meditative posture) By reciting Tassa Uttari Sutra, one declares the intension of meditation in motionless posture. This meditation also helps to reduce our vices (Kashayas), which in turn reduces our past bad karmas. The five purposes of Kaussaga are:Atonement, Repentance, Purification, Removal of Obstacles and Uprooting Sinful Activities. 06.
