3.5
“ ‘I pray that whatever karmic obscurations I have that would cause me to fall into the lower existences of beings in the hells; or rebirth as animals, preta beings, in the circle of asuras, or in the eight unfortunate states;³³¹ and whatever karmic obscurations I have created during this lifetime will be purified so that I do not have to experience in the future the ripening of that bad karma.
“ ‘Just as the bodhisattva mahāsattvas of the past, in practicing the conduct of enlightenment,³³² confessed and repented every one of their karmic obscurations, in the same way I confess and repent each one of my karmic obscurations. I reveal them all, without hiding or concealing them. I pray that my past bad actions will be purified, and I do not intend to commit any future bad actions.
“ ‘Just as the bodhisattva mahāsattvas in the future, in practicing the conduct of enlightenment,³³³ will confess and repent every one of their karmic obscurations, in the same way I confess and repent each one of my karmic obscurations. I reveal them all, without hiding or concealing them. I pray that my past bad actions will be purified, and I will not commit any future bad actions.
“ ‘Just as the bodhisattva mahāsattvas in the ten directions in the present, in practicing the conduct of enlightenment,³³⁴ confess and repent every one of their karmic obscurations, in the same way I confess and repent each one of my karmic obscurations. I reveal them all, without hiding or concealing them, and I will not commit any future bad actions.
“ ‘Just as the bodhisattva mahāsattvas of the past, the future, and the present, in practicing for enlightenment, confess each of their karmic obscurations, repent them, and do not conceal them, in the same way I confess each one of my karmic obscurations, repent them, and do not conceal them. I pray that my past bad actions will be purified. I do not intend to commit any future bad actions.’³³⁵
“Noble one, because of that cause and condition,³³⁶ whoever has committed a bad action should not hide or conceal it for an instant, let alone for a day, for a night, or for a long time.³³⁷
