9.16
"Furthermore, we disciples, from time without beginning down to the present day, have perhaps regarding the Dharma grasped scripture scrolls with unclean hands; or while before scriptures and books engaged in improper worldly chatter; or placed them at the head of the bed, sitting and rising without respect; or opened and closed chests and baskets letting worms eat and rot them; or the scrolls detached and the sections lost their order; or words were missed, omitted, or mistaken, and paper and ink torn, yet we did not repair them ourselves and were unwilling to circulate them. Such offenses are immeasurable and boundless; today we disclose them, take refuge, and repent.
