The two characters chan-hui actually voice two languages together. Sanskrit is kṣama; the Chinese is "repenting of transgressions" (huiguo), because repenting of transgressions contains five meanings, such as confessing and submitting. Now that the Chinese and Sanskrit sounds are listed together, the Great Master therefore explains chan as confessing (shou) and hui as submitting (fu), and furthermore explains chan and hui as matched with shame (can) and conscience (kui), wishing practitioners to cultivate the practice of confessing and submitting, shame, conscience, and so forth directly through the two characters. This is the mark of skillful preaching of the Dharma, and one cannot fault it on the basis of Chinese and Sanskrit etymology. First, explaining in terms of confessing and submitting: shou is pronounced shou; it is stating one's sins oneself; kuan means sincerity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.3.70) - [Next: 3.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.3.72) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786~en-mt.3.71) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.3.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.3.71) · Pramāṇa
