佛說佛名經 5.44

5.44

「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，掐抯蚤虱，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 anādikāla onward, we have irrigated dry fields, aborted fetuses, dropped offspring, broken eggs, and ruined nests; harmed and killed sentient beings with poison and sorcery; tilled soil and dug the earth, planted fields and gardens, raised silkworms and boiled cocoons, kept cats to catch mice—causing severe harm and killing; or swatted and struck mosquitoes, gadflies, flies, bees, and scorpions; pinched and crushed fleas and lice; or burned away refuse and cleared gutters, wrongfully harming all; or in consuming fruits or using grains, or in water or vegetables, improperly killed sentient beings; or kindled firewood or exposed lamps and candles, burning various types of insects; or consumed sauces and vinegar without checking for movement; or poured out boiling water, scalding insects and ants to death. In this way, even in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down—throughout the four deportments—we have constantly injured and killed subtle living beings flying in the air and clinging to the ground. As disciples, because of ordinary beings' clouded consciousness, we were oblivious and unaware; today we confess them, namas, and perform kṣamā.
