“Micchami Dukkadam”. Say this to one – say this to all. A beautiful tradition in the Jain religion. The Jains, a small religious denomination, present residing mostly in India, follow this beautiful tradition of saying “Michhami Dukkadam” to all their brothers in humanity.
“Michhami Dukkadam” means – please forgive me. Isn’t it lovely to ask for forgiveness from all your family, relatives, and friends ? How important it is to mend all fragile relationships and keep our human relationships barometer clean of the baggage of negativity, and hatred !!! Indeed, “Michhami Dukkadam” is the formalization of individual forgiveness to a community setting. It has far greater effects of increasing human compassion than individual forgiveness. It encompasses a whole community, a whole society.
Forgiveness is indeed a most important human value. It allows the human race to mend their past mistakes. It teaches humanity a lesson in forgiveness. There is nothing to be ashamed of in asking for forgiveness. And when asked for forgiveness from someone always give it. Forgiveness is a great healer.
