Buddhist Zange Compliments Ho'oponopono

As in Huna, the Buddhist practice of apology recognizes having full responsibility (e.g. for an adverse situation or a difficult person), sees it as a learning opportunity, gratitude for the learning opportunity and situation as a whole, appreciation for one's life and circumstances at the time, especially awareness of Buddhism, looks at "hooks" that dragged whatever it was into your life and resolves to get rid of those, and sincerely wishes well for everyone involved, before one's own personal prayer is even considered.

Zange (Buddhist Apology)

APPRECIATION:
  • For having the object of devotion
  • For being able to change my karma
  • For being alive at this time
  • For all the people around me
  • For everything being a teacher to me

SELF-REALIZATION:

  • Realize again that for every external cause there is first an internal cause
  • Every hurt, anger, frustration, irritation, painful situation that occurs is my responsibility
  • My karma forced that to happen, or forced them to behave that way
  • I TURN THIS POISON INTO MEDICINE
  • Become aware of my own internal "hooks" that drew such an experience to me.
  • I, ALONE am responsible for raising my life condition

APOLOGY:

  • For current slander in THOUGHT, WORD, and ACTION
  • Let me not want to do it anymore
  • The sacred altruism: chant for the health and well being of the person(s) involved and that they will deepen their faith. Ask the object of your devotion, "What can I do to rectify the situation?"

DETERMINATION:

  • To work harder for World Peace and Transformation
  • To create value in the area of family relations, school, job, or activities

ONLY AFTER CHANTING FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE SHOULD YOU CHANT FOR WHAT YOU DESIRE OR WANT TO CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE
