摩訶止觀 7.162

7.162

先知逆順十心而繫緣實相是第一懺。常懺悔，無不懺時。但心理微密，觀用輕疎，黑惡覆障卒難開曉；重運身口助發意業，使疾相應，更加五悔耳。懺名「陳露先惡」；悔名「改往修來」。佛智遍照，佛慈普攝，我以身口投佛足下：願世間眼證我懺悔！我無始無量遮佛道罪，無明所偪，不識正真；從三界繫，動身口意、起十惡罪；三寶、六親、四生、五道，作不饒益事；破發三乘心人，造五、七逆；自作教他，見作隨喜；應現生後，受諸苦惱。如三世菩薩求佛道時懺悔，我亦如是！傷已昏沈、無智慧眼！發是語時，聲淚俱下，至誠真實，五體投地；如樹崩倒，摧折我人，眾惡傾殄，是名「懺悔」。

First, knowing the ten minds of going with and against the stream and binding one's focus to true reality is the primary repentance. One should constantly repent; there is no time when one is not repenting. However, the principle and reason are subtle and profound, whereas the function of contemplation is light and coarse, and dark, evil veils and obstacles are difficult to quickly illuminate and understand. Therefore, one additionally deploys body and speech to help stimulate mental karma, making it swiftly correspond; hence, the five repentances are added. 'Repentance' (chan) means confessing and exposing past evil; 'remorse' (hui) means reforming past errors and cultivating future goodness. The Buddha's wisdom shines everywhere, and the Buddha's compassion universally gathers all. With body and speech, I cast myself down at the Buddha's feet: May the Eye of the World bear witness to my repentance! From beginningless time, I have committed immeasurable transgressions that obstruct the Buddha's path; pressed by ignorance, I did not recognize the correct and true. Bound by the three realms, I activated body, speech, and mind, and gave rise to the sins of the ten unwholesome deeds. Toward the Three Jewels, the six kinds of kin, the four modes of birth, and the five destinies, I did harmful deeds; I broke those who had generated the aspiration for the three vehicles; I committed the five and seven heinous sins; I committed them myself, taught others to do them, and rejoiced upon seeing them done. In the present life or future rebirths, I must suffer all manner of bitter afflictions. Just as the bodhisattvas of the three times repented when seeking the Buddha's path, I too do likewise! Grieving that I have been mired in torpor and lack the eye of wisdom! Giving voice to these words, weeping copiously with voice and tears, utterly sincere and true, throwing all five limbs to the ground; like a great tree collapsing, shattering the notions of self and other, overturning and annihilating all evils—this is called 'repentance and remorse.'
