24.12
"Furthermore, we disciples, from anādikāla until today, have handled scripture scrolls with impure hands; or facing sacred scriptures, we have spoken worldly and unrighteous talk; or placing them at the heads of beds, we have sat and stood without respect; or shutting them up in chests, we have let them be worm-eaten and rot; or their scrolls have come loose and their fascicle sets have lost their order; or parts have been skipped, missing, or erroneous, and the paper and ink have torn, yet we ourselves have not repaired them and refused to circulate them. Sins such as these are measureless and boundless; today we confess them, take refuge, and perform kṣamā.
