Iriyavahiyam Sutra
Atonement - Reparation of wrong doing
In this sutra:
We humbly beg forgiveness for whatever sins might have been committed by us, knowingly or unknowingly
The details of the possible sins help us be aware of those sins and minimize them in future
And by asking for forgiveness, we become free from the possible Karma Dust
Why is this Sutra important?
■It helps us understand about all living beings (from 1 sense souls to 5 senses souls)
It helps us understand and know the possible ways we could intentionally or unintentionally hurt living beings Once we know - we can avoid and prevent those mistakes
It helps remove our delusion
It helps us determine our path of minimum violence
