3.12

「第一觀因緣者,知我此罪籍以無明不善思惟,無正觀力不識其過,遠離善友諸佛菩薩,隨逐魔道行邪嶮徑,如魚吞鉤不知其患,如蠶作繭自縈自縛,如蛾赴火自燒自爛。以是因緣不能自出。

"Regarding the first, contemplating causes and conditions: know that these offenses of mine depend upon ignorance and improper reflection; lacking the power of correct contemplation, one does not recognize one's faults, stays far away from good spiritual friends, the buddhas, and bodhisattvas, follows the paths of māras, and walks upon crooked and perilous paths—like a fish swallowing a hook unaware of the peril, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon tangling and binding itself, like a moth darting into a flame burning and destroying itself. Through these causes and conditions, one is unable to escape by oneself.
