佛說佛名經 24.13

24.13

"Or sleeping on the ground we have listened to the scriptures, or lying on our backs we have read and recited them; with loud voices and laughter we have disrupted others from hearing the Dharma; or misinterpreting the Buddha's words, we have errantly explained the meaning to listeners; we have explained as Dharma what is not Dharma, and as not Dharma what is Dharma; explained as an offense what is not an offense, and as not an offense what is an offense; explained light offenses as heavy, and heavy offenses as light. Or we have copied what was before and put it after, copied what was after and put it before, put before and after into the middle, and put the middle into before and after, embellishing literary phrases and inserting them into our own texts. Or for the sake of material gain, fame, and reverence, we have preached the Dharma to others; devoid of a virtuous mind, we have sought the faults of Dharma masters, engaging in debate and unprincipled attacks, not seeking liberation by developing deep understanding; or we have slighted the Buddha's words and respected heterodox teachings, slandering the Mahāyāna and praising the path of the śrāvakas. Sins such as these are measureless and boundless; today, with a sincere mind, we confess them and perform kṣamā.
