佛說佛名經 5.44

5.44

"Furthermore, from anādikāla onward, we have irrigated dry fields, aborted fetuses, dropped offspring, broken eggs, and ruined nests; harmed and killed sentient beings with poison and sorcery; tilled soil and dug the earth, planted fields and gardens, raised silkworms and boiled cocoons, kept cats to catch mice—causing severe harm and killing; or swatted and struck mosquitoes, gadflies, flies, bees, and scorpions; pinched and crushed fleas and lice; or burned away refuse and cleared gutters, wrongfully harming all; or in consuming fruits or using grains, or in water or vegetables, improperly killed sentient beings; or kindled firewood or exposed lamps and candles, burning various types of insects; or consumed sauces and vinegar without checking for movement; or poured out boiling water, scalding insects and ants to death. In this way, even in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down—throughout the four deportments—we have constantly injured and killed subtle living beings flying in the air and clinging to the ground. As disciples, because of ordinary beings' clouded consciousness, we were oblivious and unaware; today we confess them, namas, and perform kṣamā.
