1.14

Or through fears concerning my desires,
Or when I was parted from my wealth;

“ ‘Whatever bad actions I have done
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.⁶⁰

“ ‘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.

“ ‘I will⁶¹ make offerings to those with the ten strengths
In the worlds in the ten directions.
I will save from all suffering
The beings⁶² in the ten directions.

“ ‘I will bring⁶³ 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 I will be active⁶⁴
For the sake of every single being.
