[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה ק"פ - בְּעִנְיַן סְגֻלַּת הַפִּדְיוֹן]
לְמִי שֶׁמְּבִיאִין לוֹ פִּדְיוֹן, יֹאמַר תְּפִלָּה זֹאת
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, שֶׁיֻּמְתְּקוּ הַדִּינִין וְהַגְּבוּרוֹת הַקָּשׁוֹת מֵעַל (פְּלוֹנִי בֶּן פְּלוֹנִית) עַל־יְדֵי פֶּלֶא עֶלְיוֹן, שֶׁהוּא חֲסָדִים גְּדוֹלִים וְרַחֲמִים גְּמוּרִים וּפְשׁוּטִים שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ תַּעֲרוֹבֶת דִּין כְּלָל.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Sweetening Harsh Judgments by Giving a Pidyon to a Tzaddik / God Can Help a Person Who is Not a Tzaddik Perform a Pidyon*
A *pidyon*⁶ is money given to a Tzaddik along with a request for a blessing.
When a person gives a *pidyon*, harsh judgments are sweetened on his behalf by means of God’s compassion, without any admixture of judgment. Then he is redeemed from every trouble and every type of illness, pain and discomfort. He is redeemed from all troubles and judgments, even if the decree has already been passed. He is sent complete healing from Heaven — healing of the spirit and healing of the body.
God can guide a person and teach him how to perform a *pidyon*, even if he is not a Tzaddik.
**To be recited by the person who is given a *pidyon***
**Receiving a *Pidyon***
May it be Your will that harsh judgments be sweetened on behalf of ([Hebrew name], the son/daughter of [father’s Hebrew name]) by means of the “supernal wonder,” which is great kindness and total, simple compassion, without any admixture of judgment at all.

footnotes:
⁶ Literally, “redemption.”
