慈悲道場懺法 4.5

4.5

今日道場同業大眾！如目連所見，大可怖畏。我等亦可經作此罪，無明所覆不自憶知。既有如是無量罪業，於未來世受苦報者，今日至心等一痛切，五體投地慚愧懺悔，願乞除滅。又復普為十方盡虛空界一切餓鬼求哀懺悔，又奉為父母師長求哀懺悔，又為同壇尊證上中下座求哀懺悔，又為善惡知識廣及十方無窮無盡四生六道一切眾生求哀懺悔，若已作之罪因今除滅，未作之罪不敢復造。仰願十方一切諸佛：

Since we possess such immeasurable sinful karmas that will cause us to undergo retributions of suffering in future lives, today, with utmost sincerity and singular, profound sorrow, we prostrate with the five limbs touching the ground in shame and remorse to repent, praying and beseeching that they be eradicated. Furthermore, on behalf of all hungry ghosts throughout the ten directions to the ends of space, we seek mercy and repent; also, respectfully on behalf of our parents, teachers, and elders, we seek mercy and repent; also, on behalf of the senior, middle, and junior seats who serve as venerable witnesses at this altar, we seek mercy and repent; and also, on behalf of good and bad spiritual friends, extending broadly to all limitless and endless sentient beings of the four modes of birth and six destinies throughout the ten directions, we seek mercy and repent. May the sins already committed be eliminated through this present [repentance], and may we not dare to commit again the sins not yet done. We look up and pray to all the Buddhas of the ten directions:
