44
Under the power of a deceitful mind,
Under the power of desire and anger,
Or because of hunger and thirst;
“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done
For the sake of food and drink,
For the sake of women and clothes,
Or from being tormented by various kleśas—
“ ‘The bad actions of body, speech, and mind,
My accumulation of those three kinds of bad conduct,
Whatever I have done of that kind,
I make a confession of it all.
“ ‘I make a confession of all
Disrespect I have shown
To the buddhas, the Dharma,
And likewise to the śrāvakas.
“ ‘I make a confession of all
Disrespect I have shown
To pratyekabuddhas
And to bodhisattvas.
“ ‘I make a confession of all
Disrespect I have shown
To teachers of the Dharma and
Disrespect I have shown to the Dharma itself.⁹²
“ ‘I make a confession of all
My rejection of the Dharma,
And disrespect to my parents,
Through being in constant ignorance.
“ ‘I make a confession of all
Obscuration through stupidity and foolishness;
Through desire, anger, and ignorance;
And through pride and arrogance.
“ ‘May I make offerings⁹³ to those with the ten strengths
In the worlds in the ten directions.
I will save from all suffering
Those worlds⁹⁴ in the ten directions.
“ ‘May I bring⁹⁵ all the
Countless beings onto the ten bhūmis.
When they have reached the ten bhūmis
May they all become tathāgatas.
“ ‘Until I can free them all
From the ocean of suffering,
For millions of eons may I be active⁹⁶
For the sake of every single being.
“ ‘May I teach⁹⁷ those beings
This profound teaching
That is called The Sublime Golden Light
And purifies⁹⁸ one of all karma.
