金剛三昧經論 3.194

3.194

經曰　阿難言：「懺悔先罪，不入於過去也。」佛言：「如是。猶如暗室，若遇明燈，暗即滅矣。善男子！無說悔先所有諸罪，而以為說入於過去。」

The sūtra says: Ānanda said: 'In confessing and repenting past sins, do they not enter into the past?' The Buddha said: 'So it is. It is just like a dark room: if it encounters a bright lamp, the darkness is extinguished. Good son! Do not say that in repenting all past sins, one speaks of them as having entered into the past.'
