No. Only a person can forgive oneself. And this type of forgiveness is the only forgiveness that really matters.
It is unwholesome and unproductive to hold onto guilt, shame, or to judge or condemn oneself.
One does not have to go to a god, or gods which do not exist. Doing this simply only gives a person the right to do the same unwholesome thing over and over again, whether toward him or herself, or toward another. Then he or she can simply go and do the same thing to herself or another (harm) over and over again.
No one judges you worst in life than yourself.
Love Yourself. Accept Yourself. Be Patient, Kind, and "always" forgive yourself. Treat others with respect, patience, kindness and empathy.
May you be well. May you to free from harm.
May you be free from suffering and pain.
May you be happy. May you be free from worry, guilt, and shame. May you have Peace within.
Everyday is a holiday for you to happy and peaceful within !! Happy Holidays to You.
I share loving-kindness this way to others as a buddhist, not for points, but to share peace, and wish it upon others.

Initially I would agree with most here and say no, but it is largely dependant on so many things.
The person who the forgiveness is aimed at? Are they shallow or skint enough to accept a cash recompense for the wrong they've had done to them.
What Price the Wrong? What was that film some time ago with Robert Redford, Woody Harrolson and Demi Moore? Where Robert Redford offers Woody Harrolson a million dollars for one night with his wife.
Suppose you caught your best friend in bed with your partner, would a million quid cover it?
What about stealing a tenner out your best friends wallet and you got caught? Would a million cover that? Assuming they had a million if they felt it necessary to knick a tenner off you in the first place of course.
There's lots more to think about here than initial thoughts. Personally I could do a lot with a million quid, but none of those things would be reparing the trust that had broken by the person who had wronged me if they were a friend before.
However compensation for someone wronging me that I didn't know. What price what wrong. Would just a letter of apology cover it. Supossing the wrong involved the loss of a body part or the loss of someone else close to you? Would any financial remuneration depend on how close that person was or how much you used the body part?
I think I could suffer the loss of a finger for a million quid and feel no malice towards the remover of it? To really answer this question you would have to define the scenario? The scope is just too wide to answer this one generally!

Honestly? All the money in the world can't make everything alright, so to speak, but trying to make up for ones erroneous ways can certainly pave the way for forgiveness. Invariably, in this day and age, making up for ones **** ups does indeed involve monetary things, even if that just means treating the peed off one to a lovely bottle of red, or if you're right at the back end of the dog house, a weekend in Paris or something ...

No. I don't think that money was never meant to be used in such a way. It depends on the situation too. Money can be used to compensate someone for a criminal act committed against them. But it doesn't mean that they are fully recovered from the damages sustained by that act. Forgiveness is something that comes from the heart (such as being remorseful for an act) not from your house, safe deposit box, or your backyard.
You can forgive anyone, like those who did you wrong and don't acknowledge it .

not a chance. if money changes hands, it's not a genuine apology/repentance, its trying to buy oneself a clear conscience. besides, forgiveness comes from the offended party, not from the actions of the guilty party, its a personal decision. accepting the money isnt the same as forgiving someone, its letting their mistake cost them. and if you're talking about Divine forgiveness, forget it, God cant be bought.

Rarely. I don't think any person can buy his/her forgiveness.
In the corporate sense, however, I can't think of any other way to truly apologize. Individuals within the corporation still need to repent for their wrongs; but how can a corporation say it's sorry? Donations to the public good or direct payments to those wronged is the only way I can see for a corporation to seek forgiveness.

No! Money cannot buy forgiveness! Forgiveness can't be bought, purchased, or sold! Forgiveness must be given freely.

No. Money does not buy emotions. You can't buy off some one you have wronged. To win forgiveness you have to show remorse for your actions.

money can't buy forgiveness but it sure can make the person happy that is accepting the apology
