佛說佛名經 9.15

9.15

"We disciples, from time without beginning down to the present day, have constantly had our minds shrouded by ignorance and our obstacles of affliction heavy. When seeing images of the Buddha, we have been unable to revere them with our utmost heart; we have shown contempt to the Saṅgha, been cruel to good spiritual friends, destroyed stupas and ruined monasteries, burnt images, shed the Buddha's blood, or resided ourselves in splendid halls while placing honored images in lowly and vile places, letting them be smoked by soot, exposed to the sun, blown by the wind, soaked by rain and dew, soiled by dust and dung, damaged by sparrows and mice; living together and lodging together without ever offering reverence, or leaving image bodies naked and never adorning them, or shielding lamps and candles, or opening and closing hall doors so as to block the Buddha's radiance. Such offenses are immeasurable and boundless; today, with utmost sincerity, we disclose and repent them.
