We disciples! From anādikāla until the present day, we repent of all the sinful retributions of the present and future, of the immeasurable residual retributions among humans and devas: of continuing misfortunes and past liabilities, severe infirmities and the hundred ailments, and incompletion of the six sense faculties.

We repent of the sinful retributions among humans of lacking majesty and renown; we repent of the sinful retributions among humans of clothing and livelihood failing to satisfy one's wishes; we repent of the sinful retributions among humans of encountering bad associates who cause obstacles whenever travelling, going out, coming in, or undertaking any affair. We repent of such immeasurable calamities, catastrophes, epidemics, perils, disasters, and afflictions among humans and devas in the present and future. We disciples today, with utmost sincerity, bare our hearts and lay open our minds before the Buddhas, the noble Dharma, and the assembly of sages of the ten directions, imploring their pity and repenting.
