Buddhist repentance rituals
The importance of shame and repentance
Shame and repentance go together and complement each other. With a sense of shame, we are able to admit our faulty behaviors. Repentance means taking responsibility for our faults. By having the sense of shame and repenting, we show our willingness to shoulder responsibility and are determined not to repeat the same mistake, and thereby eradicating our karmic hindrances.
