四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.543

2.543

The Samantapāsādikā says: When confessing to a senior, one says "Venerable One"; when confessing to a junior, one says "Elder." Dharmaguptaka: When confessing to a thera, one has the five factors; when confessing to a junior, one has four factors, omitting paying homage to the feet. Daśādhyāya-vinaya: One should have the five factors: baring the right shoulder, removing leather shoes, placing the right knee on the ground, and grasping the thera's feet with both hands (three recitations). It is like the method of repenting faults. For rites such as giving chanda and purity, pravāraṇā, and mānatva rehabilitation, the decorum is also like this. There are four kinds of people who repeatedly commit offenses and repeatedly repent faults: first, those without shame; second, those who treat the precepts lightly; third, those without fear; fourth, the foolish.
