慈悲道場懺法 6.16

6.16

May it be that through the power of compassion and loving-kindness and the limitless, boundless power of sovereign ease, you receive the repentance of us, [so-and-so] and others, today toward the four modes of birth and six destinies, our parents and teachers, and all our kinfolk, for all grievances and enmities arisen from mental karma. Whether [truly] matched in hostility or not, whether light or heavy, may enmities already arisen be repented of, eradicated, and extinguished; enmities not yet arisen we dare not create again. We look up and pray that through the power of the Three Jewels you jointly embrace, take pity on, protect, and shelter us, enabling us to attain liberation. From beginningless time until today, due to the conditions of evil mental karma, we, [so-and-so] and others, have given rise to various grievances and enmities, whether light or heavy, toward the four modes of birth and six destinies, our parents and teachers, and all our kinfolk; today with shame and remorse we disclose and repent them, praying that all grievances and enmities may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, relying on the roots of the three poisons we gave rise to greedy thoughts, and on account of greedy instigations we initiated greedy karma, throughout the entire realm of phenomena, both unseen and manifest. Regarding the possessions of others, we gave rise to the evil thought, 'I shall take them,' even up to the belongings of our parents and teachers, the belongings of all kinfolk, the belongings of all sentient beings, and the belongings of devas and ṛṣis—wishing that all such things belonged to ourselves. Such sins and evils being limitless and boundless, today we repent of them, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, we initiated angry karma that burned day and night without resting for even a brief moment; at the slightest displeasure we flew into great rage, afflicting and harming sentient beings in various ways—either applying whips and cudgels, or drowning them, even starving, hanging, binding, and secretly imprisoning them. Such sins of anger and limitless grievances and enmities we repent of today, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, following upon ignorance we initiated ignorant karma, leaving no evil uncommitted and devoid of right wisdom, believing in deviant words and receiving deviant teachings. Such ignorant karma creating limitless and boundless grievances and enmities we repent of today, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, we practiced the ten deviant paths, leaving no enmity unfostered and no karma uncreated, grasping at conditions in thought after thought without ever letting go for a moment, inciting the six feelings and generating all fettering karma; or, when our bodies and mouths failed to accomplish our wishes, our minds grew increasingly venomous and fierce, even stirring up quarrels and disputes through jests and mockery, dealing with people without a straightforward mind, constantly harboring flattery and deceit without shame or remorse. Such sins being limitless and boundless, for which we suffered great anguish in the six destinies, today we repent of them, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. We, [so-and-so] and others, from beginningless time until today, through unwholesome bodily karma, unwholesome speech karma, and unwholesome mental karma—such evil karma—have created all sinful hindrances against the Buddha, created all sinful hindrances against the Dharma, and created all sinful hindrances against all bodhisattvas and worthy sages. Such sinful hindrances being limitless and boundless, today with utmost sincerity we plead for mercy and repent of them, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, with the three bodily, four verbal, and three mental evil karmas, the five rebellious acts, and the four grave offenses, there is no sin we have not committed. Today we repent of them, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, through the false thoughts and inversions of the six sense faculties, six sense objects, and six consciousnesses, we grasped at conditions and committed all sins. Today we repent of them, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time until today, we have frequently violated the precepts of embracing majestic deportment, the precepts of embracing wholesome dharmas, and the precepts of embracing sentient beings; upon the breakup of the body and the end of life we fell into the three wretched paths, enduring limitless, boundless suffering in the hells like the sands of the Ganges; or fell among hungry ghosts, bereft of all knowledge and understanding, constantly gripped by hunger and thirst, afflicted by cold and heat; or fell among animals, enduring limitless suffering, with impure food and drink, trapped in misery by hunger and cold; or were born among humans into families of deviant views, our minds constantly crooked and flattering, believing in deviant words and losing the right path, sinking into the ocean of birth and death with no time of emergence. All the evil grievances and enmities of the three periods of time are beyond calculation; only the Buddhas fully know and fully see them. To the extent of the quantity of sinful retributions known and seen by the Buddhas, today we repent of them, praying that they may be eradicated and extinguished. We pray that through the great compassionate power of the Buddhas, their great supernatural powers, and their power to tame all sentient beings in accordance with the Dharma, they cause us, [so-and-so] and others, who repent today, to immediately eradicate and extinguish all grievances and enmities; and for those who have already received enmity or have not yet received enmity among the six destinies and four modes of birth today, may the great compassionate power of the Buddhas, the bodhisattvas of the great grounds, and all worthy sages cause these multitudes of enmities to be completely liberated. From this day forward until bodhi, may all sinful hindrances be completely purified; abandoning birth in evil destinies may we attain birth in pure lands; abandoning a life of enmity may we attain a life of wisdom; abandoning a body of enmity may we attain a vajra body; abandoning the suffering of evil destinies may we attain the bliss of nirvāṇa; remembering the suffering of evil destinies may we generate the bodhicitta; may the four immeasurables and six pāramitās always manifest before us; may the four unhindered understandings and six supernatural knowledges be effortless and sovereign; may we be vigorously heroic and uninterrupted, even progressing in practice to fulfill the conduct of the ten grounds, and in turn deliver limitless sentient beings.
