The notion of sin is not a Buddhist concept, it is mainly limited to the Abrahamic faithe (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). This gets away from having to have sins "forgiven". The absence of a deity or judge provides no one to do the forgiving in any case.
Buddhist precepts are based on the core goodness (Buddha nature) of people, a list of ways to improve yourself (the Eightfold Path), no deity sitting in judgement, an infinite number of lifetimes to learn to do things skillfully, and an onus on every individual to find their own way without the intervention of a god.
