Self forgiveness and love has been an essential part of my journey. I found this prayer at a time of my life that changed everything and how I look at myself. I hope it will help you with your journey: A BUDDHIST PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS: If I have harmed anyone in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through my own confusions I ask their forgiveness. If anyone has harmed me in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through their own confusions I forgive them. And if there is a situation I am not yet ready to forgive I forgive myself for that. For all the ways that I harm myself, negate, doubt, belittle myself, judge or be unkind to myself through my own confusions I forgive myself.
