About The Book
Dear Soul of the Unborn Child, We, the parents, are deeply sorry for our actions: Due to negligence and lack of care during pregnancy, we faced complications, miscarriages, stillbirths or other issues, leading to your departure before birth. (Or, due to impulsiveness, ignorance, cruelty, or shallow understanding, we performed an abortion or termination, preventing you from being born...). The parents and family are very sorrowful, regretful, and troubled for not fulfi lling our duty to give you the opportunity to live as a human being. We acknowledge the pain, suff ering, hunger, torment, loneliness and helplessness you endured. Now that you have departed, it is a harsh reality that we, as your parents, must accept. The separation from you is due to the insuffi cient karmic conditions between us in this life. We hope you understand the heartfelt sorrow of your parents and do not harbor resentment, create karmic bonds, or cling to us. Please accept your current karma and release any worldly attachments. If this lifetime has not provided suffi cient conditions, we hope to have the opportunity in future lives when our karmic connections are complete. We sincerely repent to the Buddhas and you.
