30.143

"Furthermore, [we repent] the retributions of the karmic offenses of sycophancy, flattery, and deceit in the destiny of all ghosts, spirits, and asuras; repent the retributions of the karmic offenses in the destiny of ghosts and spirits of hauling sand and carrying stones to fill up rivers and block the sea; repent the retributions of the karmic offenses of rākṣasas, kumbhāṇḍas, and all such ghosts and spirits eating raw flesh and blood and suffering this hideous ugliness. For all measureless and boundless retributions of karmic offenses such as these in the destiny of ghosts and spirits, today bowing our heads toward the Buddhas of the ten directions and the Bodhisattvas of the Great Grounds, we beg for compassion and repent, praying that they will all be eradicated.
