禮懺文 1.2

1.2

Addressing the assembly of beings: Listen to the gāthā on purity at the tiger hour (early morning):
"If you wish to seek the joy of quiescent cessation,
You should study the rules of the śramaṇa.
Maintain the life of the body with food and clothing,
Fine or coarse, following the assembly."
This morning in purity, let each keep the six recollections in mind: recollection of the Buddha, recollection of the Dharma, recollection of the Saṃgha, recollection of the precepts, recollection of devas, and recollection of giving. Invoking the Buddha and performing the Dharma rites should proceed according to the text above.
