22.20

"Furthermore, we, your disciples, from anādikāla down to the present day, have perhaps taken female bodies and constantly harbored lust, or usurped other women's husbands and infatuated men; or made talismans and spells to curse and hex other wives to bring them affliction—such people having little merit and being possessed by evil spirits, so that various illness-causing demons thereby found an opportunity, and failing to meet a good physician, they eventually died. Transgressions such as these are limitless and boundless. Today, with shame and remorse, disclosing and repenting our faults, with utmost sincerity we bow our heads to the ground, take refuge, and make kṣamā.
