1.15

“ ‘I will teach⁶⁵ those beings
This profound teaching
That is called The Sublime Golden Light
And purifies⁶⁶ one of all karma.

“ ‘Those who have committed dreadful evil acts
Throughout a thousand eons
Will purify⁶⁷ themselves of them
Through one single confession.

“ ‘Those who are obscured by bad karma
Will quickly become purified of it
Through confessing with these confessions
Through the good Sublime Golden Light.⁶⁸

“ ‘I will dwell⁶⁹ upon the ten bhūmis,
The supreme ten that are the source of jewels.⁷⁰
I will cause the qualities of a buddha to appear
And liberate others from the ocean of existence.⁷¹

“ ‘Through the inconceivable qualities of a buddha,
The flow of the ocean of buddhahood,
And the deep ocean of buddha qualities,
I will have the perfection⁷² of omniscience.

“ ‘Through a hundred thousand samādhis,
Through countless powers of mental retention,
And through the strengths, powers, and aspects of enlightenment,
I will become⁷³ a sublime one with the ten strengths.

“ ‘I pray that the buddhas look upon me
And regard me with their minds.
I pray that with their minds of great compassion
They apprehend the errors I have made.⁷⁴

“ ‘I am tormented by a sorrowful mind,
By wretchedness, by misery, and by terror
Concerning the bad actions I have done
In the past, throughout a hundred eons.

“ ‘I am terrified of my bad actions.
My mind is always low.
Whatever I do,⁷⁵
I find no happiness.

“ ‘All the compassionate buddhas
Dispel the fear of all beings.⁷⁶
I pray that you apprehend my faults
And free me from fear.

“ ‘May the tathāgatas remove
The stain⁷⁷ of my kleśas and karma.
I pray that the buddhas wash me
With the water of their compassion.

“ ‘I confess all my bad actions;
Those that I have done in the past
And those that are my present bad actions,
I make a confession of them all.
