佛說佛名經 6.22

6.22

"From anādikāla until today, we disciples have either stolen the wealth and jewels of others or raised weapons to forcibly seize them; or, relying on personal physical strength, coerced and taken them; or, relying on official authority or taking advantage of power, used tall cangues and heavy shackles to unjustly oppress the good and upright, accepting illicit goods and torturing the upright to make them crooked. Because of these causes and conditions, they were entrapped in the web of the law; or we held corrupt offices and took possession of others' wealth, encroaching on public goods to enrich private ones, or encroaching on private goods to enrich public ones; damaging that to benefit this, or benefiting that to damage this; cutting off others to enrich ourselves, giving by mouth while stingy in mind; or we covertly defaulted on rents and values, evaded customs and tolls, concealed official levies and taxes, or hid and embezzled them. Measureless and boundless are such crimes as these; today with shame and remorse we take refuge and perform kṣamā.
