佛說佛名經 24.11

24.11

"We disciples, from anādikāla until today, have always had our minds veiled by ignorance, our karmāvaraṇa being heavy. Seeing statues of the Buddha, we have failed to be wholeheartedly reverent; we have slighted and disdained the Saṅgha of monks, acted cruelly toward good friends, destroyed stūpas, ruined monasteries, burned statues, and shed the blood of the Buddha's body. Or, dwelling in ornate halls ourselves, we have placed the venerable statues in base and lowly places, exposing them to smoke, scorching sun, wind, rain, and dew, so that dust, dirt, dung, filth, sparrows, and mice have ruined them; dwelling and lodging with them, we have never shown reverence. Or we have left the bodies of the statues naked, never adorning them, or have concealed lamps and candles and shut up temple halls, obstructing the Buddha's light. Sins such as these are measureless and boundless; today, with utmost sincerity, we confess them and perform kṣamā.
