16.12

"First, regarding shame and remorse: one reflects that oneself and Śākyamuni Tathāgata were originally both ordinary beings, yet since the World-Honoured One attained awakening, as many kalpas as dust grains and sands have already passed, while we together have remained deeply attached to the six sense objects, wandering in saṃsāra without any end in sight. Under heaven, this is truly worthy of shame, remorse, humiliation, and disgrace.
