Asking forgiveness, paying homage
The Buddha taught that a person who commits an offence against someone, either bodily or verbally, should beg his pardon or make obeisance to alleviate the offence. Myanmar Buddhists traditionally pay homage to their grandparents, parents, teachers and elders on auspicious occasions and festive days, such as Full Moon Day of Wazo and Full Moon Day of Thadingyut. They retain this good tradition and believe that by doing so, they can gain benefits and be absolved of any offence they might have committed. Owning up to an offence and asking forgiveness promote prosperity.
