8.14

「弟子等!自從無始已來至于今日,妄語兩舌惡口綺語,傳空說有說有言空,不見言見見言不見,不聞言聞聞言不聞,不知言知知言不知,欺賢罔聖言行相乖。自稱讚譽得過人法,我得四禪四無色定阿那般那十六行觀,得須陀洹至阿羅漢,我得辟支佛、不退菩薩,天來龍來鬼來神來,旋風土鬼皆至我所,彼問我答,顯異惑眾要世名利。如是等罪無量無邊,今日發露歸命懺悔。

We, disciples and the rest, from anādikāla down to the present day, have engaged in false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, and frivolous speech; asserted existence where there was emptiness, and declared emptiness where there was existence; claiming to have seen what was not seen, and claiming not to have seen what was seen; claiming to have heard what was not heard, and claiming not to have heard what was heard; claiming to know what was not known, and claiming not to know what was known; deceiving the worthy and deluding the noble, our words and deeds being in conflict. We have praised ourselves for attaining superhuman qualities: ‘I have attained the four dhyānas, the four formless attainments, the sixteen aspects of ānāpānasmṛti contemplation; I have attained srotāpanna up to arhat; I have attained pratyekabuddha and non-retrogressing bodhisattva; devas come, nāgas come, bhūtas come, and spirits come; whirlwind and earth spirits all come to my dwelling; when they ask, I answer,’ displaying wonders to delude the masses and seeking worldly fame and profit. Sins such as these are immeasurable and boundless; today we confess, pay namas, and perform kṣamā.
