14.38
"We, your disciples, on account of all the evil committed throughout beginningless kalpas, have experienced great sorrow and suffering, poverty, distress, burning grief, terror, and fear; dreading evil karma, our minds are ever timid and base, without a moment of joy anywhere. The presently existing Greatly Compassionate Bhagavats of the ten directions are able to remove all fear from sentient beings; may you accept our sincere repentance. We now repent all past evils; we sincerely disclose our currently created karma; what we have not yet done we shall never dare to do; what we have already done we dare not conceal. The three kinds of bodily karma, the four kinds of verbal karma, and the three kinds of mental karma—we now fully repent them all. The perilous perils of saṃsāra, the perilous afflictions of manifold lusts and folly—all such perils we now fully repent. The peril of a flighty and restless mind, the peril of associating with bad friends, the perilous difficulties of the three realms of existence, and the peril of the three poisons; the peril of encountering no difficulties, the peril of meeting with good times, the peril of cultivating merits, and the difficulty of encountering a Buddha—all such difficulties and perils we now fully repent.
