89.57

"I, disciple so-and-so, reverently address the Buddhas of the ten directions. From the beginning of time since I possessed consciousness down to this present life, I have either myself disbelieved in the Three Jewels, or taught others to disbelieve in the Three Jewels, or rejoiced at seeing it done; I have either myself slighted the Three Jewels, or taught others to slight the Three Jewels, or rejoiced at seeing it done; I have either myself encroached upon and damaged the Three Jewels, or taught others to encroach upon and damage the Three Jewels, or rejoiced at seeing it done; I have either myself committed killing, theft, or sexual misconduct, or taught others to commit killing, theft, or sexual misconduct, or rejoiced at seeing it done; I have either myself committed false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, or frivolous speech, or taught others to commit false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, or frivolous speech, or rejoiced at seeing it done; I have either myself harboured covetousness, anger, or delusion, or taught others to harbour covetousness, anger, or delusion, or rejoiced at seeing it done. Concerning all these offenses I felt neither shame nor conscience, and without realising it myself, I lost the bodhisattva precepts. Now, before the Buddha, I confess and repent with utmost sincerity. I vow that all offenses may be eternally severed without remainder. With concentrated mind, I reverently bow down to all Buddhas." (Once is acceptable; three times is even better.)
