20.23
"We disciples, from beginningless time until the present day, possessing this mind and consciousness, have constantly harboured malice and cruelty, lacking a mind of compassionate mercy. Whether out of greed giving rise to killing, out of hatred, out of delusion, or out of pride committing murder; or employing evil contrivances, making vows to kill, praying to kill, or killing by means of curses; or breaking and draining lakes and ponds, setting fire to mountains and wildernesses, hunting in fields and catching fish; or kindling fires with the wind, flying falcons and loosing hounds, thereby harassing and harming all sentient beings of the six destinies: such sins are limitless and boundless. Today, with the utmost sincerity, we take refuge and make repentance.
