2.22

And having no respect for my parents,²³³
Today I individually confess them all.

“ ‘All the many bad actions I have done,
Through the power of ignorance,
Of pride, of desire, and of anger,
Today I individually confess them all.

“ ‘May the countless buddhas in the realms
Of the ten directions, to whom I make offerings,
Become guides for all beings
And free them from suffering and obstacles.

“ ‘May every single being
Abide in the ten bhūmis.
Having perfected merit and wisdom,
May they guide beings as buddhas.²³⁴

“ ‘May I, for the sake of all beings,
Undergo hardships for a hundred thousand eons,²³⁵
And through the power of wisdom²³⁶
Free them from the ocean of suffering.²³⁷

“ ‘May I, for the sake of all beings,
Teach the profound Sūtra of The Supremely Victorious Golden Light ²³⁸
And clear away all their bad karma.

“ ‘If someone who has done heavy bad actions
Throughout a hundred thousand eons
Confesses and repents them, even for one instant,²³⁹
Then they will be purified of all that bad karma.

“ ‘If someone makes a confession
As in this Sublime Golden Light,²⁴⁰
Through its power they will quickly
Be purified of an entire multitude of sufferings.

“ ‘May I never tire of constant meditation on
A hundred thousand samādhis,
Countless powers of mental retention,
And the strengths, powers, and aspects of enlightenment.²⁴¹

“ ‘May I reach the ten bhūmis,
The most perfect of jewels,²⁴²
Complete the qualities of a buddha,
And liberate those fallen into saṃsāra.

“ ‘May I obtain from the ocean of buddhas
An extremely profound treasure of qualities,²⁴³
A perfection of sublime wisdom
That is difficult to conceive of.

“ ‘I pray that all buddhas in the ten directions²⁴⁴
Will each look upon and regard me²⁴⁵
