1.13

三者、若人受得戒已,不能堅心護持,輕重諸戒多所毀犯。依小乘教門,即無懺悔四重之法;若依大乘教門,猶可滅除。故經云:「佛法有二種健人:一者、不作諸惡,二者、作已能悔。」

Third, if after receiving the precepts a person cannot resolutely protect and maintain them, and commits many infractions of both minor and major precepts: according to the teachings of the Hīnayāna, there is no method of repentance for the four major offenses; yet if one relies on the teachings of the Mahāyāna, they can still be eliminated. Hence the sūtra says: "In the Buddha-Dharma there are two kinds of strong people: first, those who commit no evils; second, those who, having committed them, are able to repent."
