________________ jainism in action Forgiveness "Igrant forgiveness to all souls, let all souls forgive me. My friendship is with all, my enmity is towards none" - Jain Prayer We forgive others, not because they need our forgiveness. It is because we need to release ourselves from the rage, hostility and resentment we carry within us when we don't forgive. Forgiveness isn't about letting the other person off the hook... it's about taking the knife out of our soul" It is an attitude that sets us free, so that we are not continually re-victimized by our wounds. "Gonot to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, first forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you" -Ravindranath Tagore &əU0
