Looking back to our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, we can often trace our physical features, strengths, and weaknesses through the family line. In the same way, we can observe character traits and spiritual influences that span the generations. In this transmission, we will acknowledge the iniquities of our forefathers, and endeavour to overcome the tendencies toward specific transgressions that we have inherited. This transmission will provide the depth and humility needed to release our ancestral afflictions and to turn our back on further infecting the generations to come.
