"The sins we have committed are also boundless and countless. Space is boundless, and the sins we have committed are likewise boundless; expedient means are boundless, and the sins we have committed are likewise boundless; the dharma-nature is boundless, and the sins we have committed are likewise boundless; the dharmadhātu is boundless, and the sins we have committed are likewise boundless; sentient beings are boundless, and our robbing and killing of them is likewise boundless; the Triratna is boundless, and our violation and harming of it is likewise boundless; the categories of precepts are boundless, and our transgressions of them are likewise boundless. Such sins as these cannot be known above by the bodhisattvas or below by the śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas; only Buddha and Buddha alone can know the extent of our sins. Now before the Triratna and before the sentient beings of the dharmadhātu, we disclose and repent them, not daring to conceal them. We pray only that the Triratna of the ten directions and the sentient beings of the dharmadhātu will hear our repentance.
