"Disciple[s]! From anādikāla until today, our kleśas have grown daily deeper, thicker, more lush, and more overgrown, covering the wisdom eye so that there is nothing seen, cutting off all wholesome roots so they cannot continue. Giving rise to obstacles, we fail to see the Buddhas, hear the true Dharma, or encounter the holy Saṅgha. Kleśas giving rise to obstacles: the kleśa-obstacle of not seeing all wholesome and unwholesome karmic actions of the past and future; the kleśa-obstacle of receiving the noble rebirths among humans and devas; the kleśa-obstacle of being born into the dhyāna bliss of the form and formless realms; the kleśa-obstacle of failing to attain sovereign supernormal powers to fly, conceal or appear, and be born everywhere across the pure lands of the Buddhas in the ten directions to hear the Dharma; the various kleśa-obstacles to learning ānāpānasmṛti counting of breaths and contemplation of the impure; the kleśa-obstacles of causes and conditions in learning loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the seven skillful means and three contemplations; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the four smṛtyupasthānas, heat, summit, and patience; the kleśa-obstacles in learning hearing, reflection, cultivation, and the supreme worldly dharma; the kleśa-obstacles in learning emptiness, equality, and the middle-way understanding; the various kleśa-obstacles in learning mindfulness of the path with sign-manifestation; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the seven factors of awakening without sign-manifestation; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the contemplation of causes and conditions among the bodhipakṣadharma; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the eight vimokṣas and nine emptinesses; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the ten knowledges and three samādhis; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the three vidyās, six abhijñās, and four pratisaṃvids; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the six pāramitās and four immeasurables; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the four saṃgrahavastus to broadly transform [beings]; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the Mahāyāna mind and four great vows; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the ten illuminations and ten practices; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the ten dedications and ten vows; the kleśa-obstacles in the clear understanding of the first bhūmi, second bhūmi, third bhūmi, and fourth bhūmi; the various kleśa-obstacles of knowledges and views of the fifth bhūmi, sixth bhūmi, and seventh bhūmi; the kleśa-obstacles in learning the dual illumination of the eighth bhūmi, ninth bhūmi, and tenth bhūmi; and thus up to the higher kleśas that obstruct learning the hundred myriad asaṃkhyeyas of practices for the Buddha fruit. Such obstacles to practice are measureless and boundless. Disciple[s], today with utmost sincerity prostrating with earnest hearts, facing the Buddhas, revered Dharma, and holy Saṅgha of the ten directions, in shame and remorse make kṣamā, wishing that they may all be extinguished.
