20.26

「又復，無始已來，或溉灌陸田，墮胎落子，破卵壞巢，毒藥蠱道傷殺眾生，墾土掘地種植田園，養蠶煮繭，養猫搦鼠傷殺滋甚。或打撲蚊虻螥蠅蜂蝎掐担蚤虱，或燒除糞掃，開決溝渠枉害一切，或噉菓實或用穀米或水或菜橫殺眾生，或然樵薪或露燈燭焚諸蟲類，或食醬酢不看搖動，或瀉湯水澆殺蟲蟻。如是乃至行住坐臥四威儀中，恒常傷殺飛空著地細微眾生。弟子！以凡夫識暗不覺不知，今日發露歸命懺悔。

"Furthermore, from beginningless time, whether irrigating dry fields, aborting fetuses and causing miscarriages, breaking eggs and destroying nests, using poisons and witchcraft to injure and kill sentient beings; tilling the soil and digging the earth to plant fields and gardens; raising silkworms and boiling cocoons; keeping cats to catch mice, injuring and killing ever more exceedingly; or swatting and slapping mosquitoes, gadflies, greenbottles, flies, bees, and scorpions; pinching and squashing fleas and lice; or burning and clearing away dung and sweepings, unblocking and draining ditches and drains to the wrongful injury of all; or eating fruits, using grains and rice, or water, or vegetables, recklessly killing sentient beings; or kindling firewood, or exposing open lamps and candles to burn all manner of insects; or consuming sauces and vinegar without watching for writhing creatures; or pouring out boiling water, scalding and killing insects and ants; even so, throughout the four deportments of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, constantly injuring and killing minute living beings flying in the air and clinging to the earth: we disciples, due to the darkness of ordinary consciousness, were unconscious and unaware. Today we disclose them, take refuge, and make repentance.
