Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 11.10.16

11.10.16

爾時，彼比丘從坐起，整衣服，禮世尊足，白世尊曰：「今自悔過，唯願垂恕！愚癡所致，造不善行。如來所說，無有二言，然我愚癡，起猶豫想。唯願世尊受我悔過，改往修來。」乃至再三。

That monk then rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bowed at the Bhagavān’s feet, and said, “Now, I apologize for this. Please forgive me! I was being foolish and did something unskillful. The Tathāgata’s teaching doesn’t have any duplicity, but I was a fool who had such ideas as this. Please, Bhagavān, accept my apology and restore me so I may continue my cultivation!” He repeated this three times.
