佛說佛名經 20.23

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [20.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.20.23)

「弟子等！自從無始已來至于今日，有此心識常懷磣毒無慈愍心，或因貪起殺，因瞋因癡及以慢殺，或興惡方便誓殺願殺及以呪殺，或破決湖池焚燒山野田獵捕魚，或因風放火飛鷹放犬，惱害一切六道眾生。如是等罪無量無邊，今日至心歸命懺悔。

> "We disciples, from beginningless time until the present day, possessing this mind and consciousness, have constantly harboured malice and cruelty, lacking a mind of compassionate mercy. Whether out of greed giving rise to killing, out of hatred, out of delusion, or out of pride committing murder; or employing evil contrivances, making vows to kill, praying to kill, or killing by means of curses; or breaking and draining lakes and ponds, setting fire to mountains and wildernesses, hunting in fields and catching fish; or kindling fires with the wind, flying falcons and loosing hounds, thereby harassing and harming all sentient beings of the six destinies: such sins are limitless and boundless. Today, with the utmost sincerity, we take refuge and make repentance.
