慈悲道場懺法 6.8

6.8

今日道場同業大眾！我等所以輪迴六道者，皆由口業，或復輕言肆語、脆口利辭浮虛假飾，言行相乖，自招其報歷劫無免。豈得不人人悚然，增到懺洗此過。相與從有識神已來，至于今日，口業不善，於四生六道、父母師長、一切眷屬邊靡惡不宣，出言麁獷、發語毀暴，朋遊聚話無義而說，指空為有、指有言空，見言不見、不見言見，聞言不聞、不聞言聞，作言不作、不作言作，如是顛倒反天易地，自利傷物更相讒謗，言己則靡德不歸、說他則何惡不往，乃至品詳聖賢、裁量君父，譏說師長、背善知識，無道無義無所顧難。世有幽厄傷形喪命，未來楚痛永劫嬰報。直戲笑之頃便能具足無量重罪，何況苦言以加一切。眾等相與，無始已來至于今日，以惡口業，於天道、人道有怨對者，於阿脩羅道、地獄道有怨對者，於餓鬼道、畜生道有怨對者，若於父母師長、一切眷屬有怨對者，（某甲）等以慈悲心，同菩薩行、同菩薩願，普皆奉為歸命敬禮大慈悲父。

Today, assembly sharing this karmic endeavor in the bodhimaṇḍa! The reason we transmute through the six destinies is entirely due to karma of speech; or again, light words and reckless speech, glib tongue and sharp phrases, floating, false, and ornate expressions, our speech and actions contradicting each other, bringing upon ourselves retributions without escape for kalpas. How can each person not be terrified, and with increasing earnestness repent and wash away this fault? Together, from the time we have possessed a conscious spirit up to the present day, our karma of speech has not been wholesome: toward the four modes of birth and six destinies, parents, teachers, and all kin, there is no evil we have not proclaimed—speaking coarse and rude words, uttering slanderous and violent speech, gathering with friends to speak meaningless talk; declaring emptiness to be existence, declaring existence to be empty; saying we have not seen what we saw, saying we have seen what we did not see; saying we have not heard what we heard, saying we have heard what we did not hear; saying we did not do what we did, saying we did what we did not do; in this way reversing heaven and earth, benefiting ourselves and harming creatures, mutually slandering one another; when speaking of ourselves, attributing every virtue to ourselves; when speaking of others, attributing every evil to them; even scrutinizing sages and worthies, judging rulers and fathers, ridiculing teachers and elders, turning our backs on kalyāṇamitras; lacking morality and righteousness, without regard or apprehension. In this world there are hidden disasters that injure the body and take life; in the future, severe suffering will be endured as retribution for eternal kalpas. Even in a moment of joking and laughing, one can fully amass measureless heavy sins, not to mention inflicting bitter words upon everyone. Together, all of you, from beginningless time up to the present day, on account of evil karma of speech, if there are adversaries in the deva destiny and human destiny, if there are adversaries in the asura destiny and hell destiny, if there are adversaries in the hungry ghost destiny and animal destiny, or if there are adversaries toward parents, teachers, and all kin—we, [so-and-so], with minds of compassion and loving-kindness, sharing the bodhisattva's practice and sharing the bodhisattva's vows, universally on their behalf take refuge, pay homage, and bow to the Great Compassionate and Loving Father.
