佛說佛名經 16.10

16.10

「弟子！今日所以懺悔者，正言無始已來在凡夫地，莫問貴賤罪自無量。或因三業而生罪，或從六根而起過，或以內心自邪思惟，或籍外境起於染著，如是乃至十惡，增長八萬四千諸塵勞門。然其罪相雖復無量，大而為語不出有三。何等為三？一者煩惱障；二者是業障；三者是果報障。此三種法能障聖道，及以人天勝妙好事，是故經中目為三障。所以諸佛菩薩教作方便，懺悔除滅此三障者，則六根十惡乃至八萬四千諸塵勞門皆悉清淨。

"The reason why we disciples perform kṣamā today is precisely that since anādikāla we have been in the stage of ordinary beings; regardless of noble or base, our sins are naturally measureless. Either through the three karmas sins are generated, or from the six sense faculties faults arise; either internally from one's own improper reflection, or dependent on external objects arising in defiled attachment; proceeding thus up to the ten unvirtuous actions, augmenting the eighty-four thousand gates of afflictive toil. Yet although the marks of these sins are measureless, broadly speaking they do not exceed three. What are the three? The first is the hindrance of afflictions; the second is the hindrance of karma; the third is the hindrance of retribution. These three kinds of dharmas can obstruct the noble path as well as the superior, marvelous good things of humans and devas; therefore, in the sūtras they are designated as the three hindrances. For this reason, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas have taught skillful means: if one performs kṣamā and eradicates these three hindrances, then the six sense faculties, the ten unvirtuous actions, and even the eighty-four thousand gates of afflictive toil will all be purified.
