佛說佛名經 24.8

24.8

"We disciples, having already completed the kṣamā of the three [transgressions] of the body and the four of speech, next perform kṣamā for all obstructions committed against the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha. Therefore, it is said in the sūtras: 'A human body is difficult to obtain, the Buddha's Dharma is difficult to hear, the Saṅgha of monks is difficult to encounter, faithful devotion is difficult to generate, the six sense organs are difficult to possess complete, a good friend is difficult to obtain, and the mind of dread is difficult to arouse.' Yet now we have planted good roots in past lives, obtained this human body with its six sense organs complete, and moreover encountered good friends and been able to hear the true Dharma; yet in the meantime, each of us has been unable to be fully diligent and zealous, and we fear that in the future we will long be submerged in myriad sufferings with no time of escape. Therefore, today we must with supreme sincerity, shame, and remorse, bow our heads to the ground and take refuge in the Buddha.
