佛說佛名經 12.14

12.14

We disciples today next perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in utter lack of discernment and knowledge in the animal destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in bearing heavy loads and hauling plows to repay past debts in the animal destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in lacking autonomy, being hacked, stabbed, slaughtered, and butchered by others in the animal destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in being footless, two-footed, four-footed, or multi-footed in the animal destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in having one's body gnawed and devoured by tiny parasites from within the feathers and scales in the animal destiny. We perform kṣamā for all such measureless and boundless retributions of sin in the animal destiny, today with utmost sincerity taking refuge and offering kṣamā.
