20.25

"Furthermore, from beginningless time until the present day, whether raising armies to attack one another, contending upon the battlefields where two battle lines faced each other and slaughtered one another; or killing by oneself, instructing others to kill, or rejoicing upon hearing of killing; or practicing the butcher's trade and slicing flesh, hiring oneself out to inflict punishments and executions, cooking and slaughtering the lives of others, acting without mercy; or giving free rein to rage, brandishing spears and handling blades, whether beheading, stabbing, or pushing into pits and moats; or drowning with water, or blocking holes and destroying nests, pounding and crushing with earth and stones; or trampling and crushing all sentient beings with chariots and horses: such sins are limitless and boundless. Today we disclose them, take refuge, and make repentance.
