尼羯磨 2.123

2.123

"Ayye, focus your mind! I, bhikṣuṇī so-and-so, intentionally kept [so many / numerous] extra robe[s] (for others, name them according to their specific kind) exceeding ten days, committing a forfeiture. This robe has already been forfeited to the saṃgha, and in this there are [so many / numerous] pāyattika offences. Having committed this offence, when the saṃgha recited the precepts, I declared myself to be pure, committing [so many / numerous] pāyattika offences. In a face-to-face recitation of the precepts, I personally declared myself to be pure, committing [so many / numerous] pāyattika offences. When the saṃgha performed pravāraṇā, I declared myself to be pure, committing [so many / numerous] pāyattika offences. In a face-to-face pravāraṇā, I personally declared myself to be pure, committing [so many / numerous] pāyattika offences. Now, facing you, ayye, I repent of them and dare not conceal them. Repenting brings peace and happiness; not repenting brings no peace and happiness. Remembering the offences, I reveal them; knowing them, I do not conceal them. May you, ayye, keep in mind my purity, my complete aggregate of precepts, and my pure poṣadha." (Said three times. The one receiving the confession should say:) "Reprove your own mind, and you should give rise to revulsion." (The repenting person responds:) "Yes." (If the forfeited object has already been worn out and destroyed, although there is no material property to forfeit, the ranks of offences are the same as before; each must also be known according to circumstances with all conditions present or lacking, and repented of as above.)
