自惟我生死　過去無初際
乃至於今生　相續不斷絕
愚癡暗覆故　三毒火常然
雖有身與心　而不能自寤
徒蒙一切佛　放智慧日光
照我二種身　亦未之知覺
懷惑生諸趣　無類而不更
諦思此因緣　誰非己眷屬
又念諸眾生　元同一心海
因妄想識浪　幻起諸趣身
是身無種種　與我同如性
因於失念故　彼我分別生
由之起愛憎　常共相鬪諍
日夜懷嫌恨　思念相報及
遂於眾生中　無一不傷害
貪奪於資生　非分起染欲
虛誑無實語　惡口不擇言
兩舌相破壞　綺語調弄人
貪海無厭足　瞋火然復然
邪見背正教　諂曲無誠信
違犯諸如來　一切清淨戒
嫌恨與愛憎　無心而不有
是罪若不懺　長夜熏自心
積熏而不已　變成地獄處
及與諸苦具　諸佛於爾時
皆悉不能救　唯除自發露
所造諸愆咎　應佛菩薩心
隨順本淨性　無始時無明
自此漸微薄　是故懷慚愧
深心悔諸罪　願佛放慈光
照及苦眾生　所有煩惱聚
皆令悉消滅　自性清淨心
從此至究竟　平等真法界
於今得圓滿　（下有六行偈長安延興寺玄琬律師撰）

Reflecting on my saṃsāra,
Its past has no beginning,
Down to this present life,
Continuous and uninterrupted.
Because covered by the darkness of ignorance,
The fires of the three poisons constantly burn.
Although having body and mind,
I am unable to awaken myself.
In vain I receive all Buddhas
Radiating the sunlight of wisdom;
Illuminating my two kinds of bodies,
Yet I have not perceived it.
Harboring delusion, born in the various destinies,
There is no class I have not experienced.
Carefully contemplating these causes and conditions,
Who has not been my own kin?
Furthermore, I consider that all sentient beings
Originally share the same single ocean of mind.
Due to the waves of consciousness from false thoughts,
Bodies of the various destinies illusorily arise.
These bodies are not various;
They share with me the same nature of suchness.
Because of lost mindfulness,
Distinctions of other and self arise.
From this, love and hate arise,
Constantly contending with one another.
Day and night harboring resentment,
Thinking of retaliating against one another.
Consequently, among sentient beings,
There is none I have not harmed:
Greedily seizing the requisites of life,
Inordinately giving rise to defiled desires;
Deceitful words without truth,
Harsh speech without restraint;
Divisive speech ruining one another,
Frivolous talk mocking people;
An ocean of greed insatiable,
Fires of anger burning repeatedly;
Wrong views opposing the correct teaching,
Deceitful crookedness devoid of sincerity and faith;
Violating all the pure precepts
Of all the Tathāgatas.
Resentment, hatred, love, and hate—
There is no thought in which they do not exist.
If these sins are not repented,
They will perfume one's own mind throughout the long night;
Accumulating perfuming without cease,
Transforming into the place of hell
And all the instruments of suffering.
At that time, all the Buddhas
Are entirely unable to save one,
Except if one personally confesses
All the transgressions committed.
Echoing the mind of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas,
In accord with the originally pure nature,
The beginningless ignorance
From this gradually grows faint and thin.
Therefore, harboring shame and remorse,
With a profound mind I repent all sins.
May the Buddhas radiate rays of compassion
To illuminate suffering sentient beings,
So that all heaps of afflictions
Are completely eliminated;
The inherently pure mind,
From here to ultimate fruition,
The equal, true dharmadhātu,
Now attains complete fulfillment.
