22.19
"We, your disciples, from anādikāla down to the present day, have perhaps taken female bodies, with minds like wild horses, constantly licentious day after day, never settled for a single moment. Constantly harboring depraved thoughts and perpetually giving rise to lustful ideations, or in saṅghārāmas and assembly halls, having no mind to listen to the Dharma, our eyes constantly staring with lust; or desiring śramaṇas and ruining other men. Giving no credence to the Buddha-Dharma, giving free rein to lustful passions, causing our minds to drift upon the great sea, darkly losing sight of the shore; or defiling the three robes and Dharma vestments of the Saṅgha; or engaging in impure conduct within the courtyards and halls of monasteries, groping and fondling one another. Transgressions such as these are limitless and boundless. Today, with shame and remorse, with our whole hearts we make kṣamā.
