摩訶止觀 2.30

2.30

Now, chanting over these causal conditions is chanting over the three paths to expound repentance. Phenomenal repentance repents the path of suffering and the path of karma; noumenal repentance repents the path of afflictions. The text states: 'If one violates the śrāmaṇera precepts up to the great bhikṣu precepts, if [the precepts] are not restored, that is impossible.' This is the text for repenting the path of karma. 'The eye, ear, and all faculties become pure' is the text for repenting the path of suffering. 'On the seventh day, one sees the Buddhas of the ten directions, hears the Dharma, and attains non-retrogression' is the text for repenting the path of afflictions. When the three obstructions are removed, the tree of the twelve links of conditioned arising is destroyed, and the house of the five aggregates is emptied. Contemplating true reality directly shatters these; hence it is called 'the repentance through the real Dharma of all Buddhas'.
