“ ‘May the sound of the great drum
Bring an end to the sufferings of those beings
Who are experiencing intense, unendurable suffering
In the hells, among the pretas, and in the human world.

“ ‘For those who have no support,
No protection, and no refuge,
May there be protection and support,
And may there be the supreme refuge.

Who have minds of love and compassion,
Who are in the worlds in the ten directions,
I pray that you turn your regard upon me.

“ ‘The extremely dreadful bad actions
That I have carried out in the past,
I confess all of them in the presence
Of those who have the ten strengths.

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done,
Such as ignoring my mother and father,
Not acknowledging the buddhas,
And not acknowledging good actions;

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done,
Such as being arrogant with pride in my wealth,
Andr arrogant with pride in my family,
My possessions, or my youth;⁹¹

“ ‘Whatever bad thoughts, bad words,
And harmful actions I have produced;
Whatever bad actions I have done,

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done
Through foolishness of mind,
My mind being darkened by ignorance,
Or being under the influence of bad friends,

“ ‘Or through my mind being disturbed by kleśas,
Because of delighting in amusements,
Or through being in misery, being ill,
Or through the evil of dissatisfaction with wealth;

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done
Because of associating with ignoble beings,
Or caused by my jealousy and miserliness,
Or by my dishonesty and neediness;

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done
During the times when I was in misfortune,
Or through fears concerning my desires,
Or when I was parted from my wealth;

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done
