大通方廣懺悔滅罪莊嚴成佛經 1.19

1.19

If someone, through paying homage / To the Buddhas of the past, / Extinguishes sins and regains the original mind, / They will never again commit the ten non-virtues / Or the five unpardonable offenses and the like, / Will always hear the true Dharma, / And will be fully endowed with the Mahāyāna precepts. / Therefore, we now pay reverent homage. / Excepted only are two kinds of people: / First, those who slander the vaipulya [teachings]; / Second, the icchantikas. / If a person's mind is pure, / They are not called an icchantika / And will constantly see immeasurable Buddhas; / Therefore, we now pay reverent homage. / If there are those who have committed grave offenses / Or even the five unpardonable sins, / But are able to give rise to pure faith again, / They too will abide according to the Dharma. / All because of paying reverent homage, / They will extinguish the ten non-virtuous karmas / And fully attain the Mahāyāna precepts; / Therefore, we now pay reverent homage.
