“ ‘There are three kinds of physical actions;
There are four kinds of verbal actions;
There are three kinds of mental actions—
I make a confession of them all.
“ ‘Those actions done physically, those done verbally,
And those done mentally—
The ten kinds of karma I have created—
I make a confession of them all.
“ ‘Having forsaken the ten bad actions,
I will practice the ten that are good.
I will dwell upon the ten bhūmis
And be endowed with the ten supreme strengths.
“ ‘Whatever bad karma I possess
Will bring undesirable results.
I make a confession of all of it
In the presence of the buddhas.
“ ‘Whatever good actions have been done,
Whether in this Jambudvīpa
Or in other world realms,
I rejoice in them all.
“ ‘Whatever merit I have created
Through my body, speech, and mind,
Through those meritorious roots
May I reach the highest enlightenment.
“ ‘Whatever dreadful bad actions have been made
By a foolish mind distressed within existences,
I confess each one of those bad actions
Before the unequaled one with the ten strengths.
“ ‘I confess whatever bad karma I have accumulated
In dangerous lives, in dangerous existences,
In dangerous worlds with a dangerous and unstable mind,
Through various kinds of dangerous physical behavior.
“ ‘In the presence of the unequaled jinas,
I confess every single bad action I have done
Because of perilous, foolish stupidity and kleśas,¹¹¹
Because of perilous association with wicked friends,
“ ‘Because of perilous saṃsāra and perilous desire,
Because of perilous anger and perilous ignorance,¹¹²
Because of perilous fatigue¹¹³ and perilous times,
And because of a perilous lack of producing merit.
“ ‘I praise the buddhas, who are like shining golden mountains—
Who are like Sumeru,¹¹⁴ and like oceans of qualities.
I go for refuge to those jinas
And bow my head to all those jinas.
