To \u201crepent\u201d means that we are repenting of all of our past offenses that we have created, and to \u201creform\u201d is not to do them again. Interestingly, in many world religions, their definition of repentance is similar, with a slightly different explanation. In Greek, metanoia, is their word for repentance, and can be translated as to repent and reform. It also means to change one&#8217;s thoughts or mindset. In Hebrew, their term for this is teshuvah, which means to return to God and not create actions that would take oneself farther away from God. In Buddhism, we repent to eradicate our karma, but in a way, it is to retrieve or to go back to our purity, because after we eradicate our karma, hopefully, we can retrieve and go back to our original nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u90a3\u9ebc\uff0c\u4ec0\u9ebc\u662f\u300c\u61fa\u6094\u6539\u904e\u300d\u5462\uff1f\u6240\u8b02\u300c\u61fa\u300d\u662f\u61fa\u6094\u6211\u5011\u904e\u53bb\u6240\u9020\u7684\u7a2e\u7a2e\u7f6a\u696d\uff1b\u800c\u300c\u6094\u300d\u5247\u662f\u4e0d\u518d\u91cd\u72af\u3002\u5f88\u6709\u8da3\u7684\u662f\uff0c\u8a31\u591a\u4e16\u754c\u5b97\u6559\u5c0d\u61fa\u6094\u7684\u5b9a\u7fa9\u4e5f\u9817\u70ba\u76f8\u8fd1\uff0c\u53ea\u662f\u8aaa\u6cd5\u7565\u6709\u4e0d\u540c\u3002\u5728\u5e0c\u81d8\u8a9e\u4e2d\uff0c\u300c<\/strong><strong>metanoia<\/strong><strong>\u300d\u4e00\u8a5e\u610f\u6307\u61fa\u6094\u8207\u6539\u904e\uff0c\u4e5f\u6709\u300c\u8f49\u8b8a\u601d\u60f3\u6216\u5fc3\u5ff5\u300d\u4e4b\u610f\uff1b\u5728\u5e0c\u4f2f\u4f86\u8a9e\u4e2d\uff0c\u61fa\u6094\u7a31\u70ba\u300c<\/strong><strong>t<\/strong><strong>e<\/strong><strong>shuvah<\/strong><strong>\u300d\uff0c\u610f\u601d\u662f\u300c\u56de\u6b78\u300d<\/strong><strong>\u2014\u2014<\/strong><strong>\u56de\u5230\u4ed6\u5011\u7684\u4e0a\u5e1d\u8eab\u908a\uff0c\u4e0d\u518d\u9020\u4f5c\u4f7f\u81ea\u5df1\u9060\u96e2\u795e\u7684\u884c\u70ba\u3002\u5728\u4f5b\u6559\u4e2d\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u61fa\u6094\u662f\u70ba\u4e86\u6d88\u9664\u696d\u969c\uff1b\u4f46\u5f9e\u67d0\u500b\u89d2\u5ea6\u4f86\u8aaa\uff0c\u61fa\u6094\u4e5f\u662f<\/strong><strong>\u4e00\u7a2e\u300c\u56de\u6b78\u300d<\/strong><strong>\u2014\u2014<\/strong><strong>\u56de\u5230\u6211\u5011\u672c\u6709\u7684\u6e05\u6de8\u672c\u6027\u3002\u7576\u696d\u969c\u6d88\u9664\u4e4b\u5f8c\uff0c\u5e0c\u671b\u6211\u5011\u90fd\u80fd\u627e\u56de\u3001\u56de\u6b78\u9019<\/strong><strong>\u4efd\u672c\u4f86\u7684\u7d14\u771f<\/strong><strong>\u3002<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Catholicism, they encourage their followers to repent and go to confession at least once a month. Last year, in 2024, they did a survey where 42% of Catholics said that they would repent and go to confession at least once a year; however, in Buddhism, and especially in our association, we repent daily, even twice or three times a day. In the morning, we bow the Universal Bowing; in the afternoon, we bow the Great Compassion Repentance; and every other evening, we recite the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Repentance. So why is it that we need to repent so much? It is because we have a lot of (unwholesome) karma\u2014karma that is accumulated from many, many kalpas in the past based on our body, mouth, and mind.

And since my skin is very sensitive and I get allergic quite easily, especially to insect bites, when I was bitten by these fleas, I had an allergic reaction. Many of the bites were on my stomach; I had 20 to 30 bites in the same place, and I had to go to the doctor to drink medicine.

But the requirement was that anybody who goes there has to bow at least 800 bows a day, so she forced herself to, and finally she had a dream of Guanyin Bodhisattva rubbing her knees. The next day, she was able to bow 1,000 bows. She told the host Dharma Master, \u201cDharma Master, you bow this repentance every year, so you must be able to fly!\u201d The Dharma Master said, \u201cWhy do you ask me this?\u201d The elderly nun said, \u201cAfter Guanyin Bodhisattva rubbed my knees, I can bow now when I couldn\u2019t for over twenty years, so you must be able to fly due to bowing so much!\u201d We just finished the first week of bowing the 10,000 Buddhas Repentance, and if you felt that you had a lot of false thoughts when you were bowing, you don&#8217;t need to worry; we still have three more weeks for you to bow.
