10.18

Or we have been heedless and self-indulgent, indeterminate and distracted, playing gambling games, backgammon, double-six, and weiqi, gathering in crowds to drink alcohol and eat meat, mutually ridiculing and engaging in idle talk; discussing worldly affairs from month to month and year to year, vainly squandering the days, neglecting meditation and recitation in the first, middle, and last watches of the night, being indolent and lazy, lying down like corpses all day long; not fixing our minds on the six mindfulnesses, giving rise to jealousy upon seeing others' superior achievements, harboring bitter toxicity in our hearts, fully arousing defilements, causing the violent winds of all evils to fan the fuel of evil into blazing fire without cessation, so that the slight good of the three karmas is entirely burned away, and once good dharmas are exhausted, becoming icchantikas who fall into the fiery hells without a time of emergence. Therefore, we disciples today, with utmost sincerity, bow our heads before all the Buddhas and noble assemblies of the ten directions to repent all the various sins mentioned above. Whether light or heavy, coarse or subtle, whether done by ourselves, caused others to do, rejoiced in seeing done, or compelled others to do through force—up to praising those who practice evil dharmas—today, with wholehearted sincerity, we expose and repent them, wishing they may all be extinguished.
