2.24

Through my body, speech, and mind,
May I quickly attain the highest wisdom.²⁵⁷

“ ‘Today, in the presence of those who have the ten strengths,²⁵⁸
I confess and repent many various sufferings and obstacles:
The obstacles from the stupidity of the fools in the three existences;
The obstacles from always creating heavy bad karma;

“ ‘The obstacles I have accumulated from wrong desires;²⁵⁹
The obstacles from continually circling through existences;
The obstacles from attachment to this world;
The obstacles from the kleśas of all childlike beings;

“ ‘The obstacles from a crazed, distracted, erroneous mind;
The obstacles from relying upon wicked friends;
The obstacles from desire and attachment for saṃsāra;²⁶⁰
The obstacles from bad actions through anger, stupidity, and idiocy;²⁶¹

“ ‘The obstacles from the eight unfortunate states and wicked friends;²⁶²
And the obstacles from not accumulating merit and good qualities.
Today, in the presence of all the jinas,²⁶³
I confess endless bad actions and sins.²⁶⁴

“ ‘Today I go for refuge to all the tathāgatas,
Who like golden mountains illuminate the ten directions.²⁶⁵
I pay homage to the unsurpassable ocean of qualities.²⁶⁶
I pray that all tathāgatas hold me in their love and compassion.²⁶⁷

“ ‘They have bodies that are golden, pure, and stainless;
Their eyes are pure and are the color of beryl.
The lords who have glory, magnificence, and renown—
The sun of their compassion and wisdom²⁶⁸ dispels darkness.

“ ‘The sunlight of the buddhas illuminates everywhere.
They are completely pure, stainless, free of impurities.
The moons of the munis illuminate and cool,
Dispelling the torment of the kleśas in beings.

“ ‘They are perfectly adorned by the thirty-two signs.
They have the eighty excellent features, complete.
Their qualities are hard to comprehend and have no equal.
Like sunlight, they illuminate the world.²⁶⁹

“ ‘They have a stainless color like that of beryl.
