7.14
“We disciples, from anādikāla until today, may have received female bodies and had minds like wild horses, constantly unrestrained every day without being settled for even a single moment, always harbouring evil thoughts and constantly giving rise to lustful desires; or at gatherings in the saṅghārāma, lacked the heart to listen to the Dharma while our eyes constantly gazed with longing; or seduced and lusted after śramaṇas, corrupted other men, took no joy in the Buddha-Dharma, and indulged our lustful feelings, causing our minds to drift across the great ocean and lose sight of the shore in darkness; or defiled the saṅgha's three robes and Dharma vestments; or engaged in impure conduct, caressing and fondling one another in the monasteries and courtyards. Sins such as these are immeasurable and boundless; today with shame and remorse, with our whole hearts we repent of them.
