[BTN Korean Buddhist TV] 108 Prostrations of Great Repentance by BTN

The Buddha taught that there are one hundred and eight delusions of mind.
Reflecting deeply on the essential truth that we self-create and amplify our many suffering through attachment to deluded thoughts, we bow 108 times in repentance, to clear our minds of these thoughts.

May all offences accumulated during hundreds of kalpas now be totally consumed in an instant, as fire burns dry grass extinguishing all things until nothing remains.

Our offenses have no self-nature, but arise only from our minds.
If our minds are extinguished, then our offenses too will be destroyed.

When both our minds and our offenses are extinguished, and both are seen as empty, this is termed the true repentance.

Hoping that the time spent prostrating will offer you peace, wisdom and equanimity...

108 Prostrations of Great Repentance by BTN

We go for guidance to the Holy One, the Buddha, who saves all creatures from the three painful states; We desire that all creatures may all together enter into the bliss of the uncreated.

We who will suffer rebirth in the three realms, and who are not yet freed from our obligations and involvements, may we cast off these obligations and enter into the uncreated, and by so doing fulfill our greatest obligation.
