Rite of Jainism
Pratikramana — the turning back.
A structured confession of harms done, however small — accounting as spiritual practice.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this rite is held
Pratikramana is the ritual of turning back — a periodic review of one's conduct against the vows, with confession and resolve. It is performed daily by the devout, fortnightly by many, and at minimum annually at Paryushana. The practice is unusually explicit for a religion without a forgiving deity: there is no absolution on offer, so the review's function is to catch karma accumulation early rather than to be pardoned for it.
