purification
Teachings on practices that mitigate the force of our destructive actions, in particular on the four opponent powers. This is a four-step practice involving: 1) regretting our mistake, 2) restoring the relationship by generating a positive attitude towards the one we harmed, 3) resolving to avoid the harmful action in the future, and 4) doing some sort of remedial behavior.
