"First, as for shame and remorse: one reflects that oneself and the Tathāgata Śākyamuni were both ordinary mortals, yet since the World-Honoured One achieved the Way, as many kalpas as the sands of dust have elapsed, while we have indulged in and been defiled by the six dusts together, drifting in birth and death with never any date of departure. This is truly the most shameful, embarrassing, disgraceful, and humiliating thing in the world.
