佛說佛名經 9.17

9.17

"Or we lay on the ground listening to the scriptures, or lay on our backs reading and reciting; or laughed and spoke loudly, disturbing others from hearing the Dharma; or misconstrued the Buddha's words, explaining according to our own perverse understanding; or explained what is non-Dharma as Dharma, and Dharma as non-Dharma; or explained what is not an offense as an offense, and an offense as not an offense; or explained light offenses as heavy, and heavy offenses as light. Or we copied what was before and put it behind, or copied what was behind and put it before, or placed the front and back in the middle, or placed the middle in front and back; or ornamented words and inserted them into our own texts; or preached the Dharma to people for the sake of material gain, reputation, and veneration; or without a mind of virtue and way sought faults in Dharma teachers, engaging in debates to criticize them unreasonably. Not seeking supermundane Dharma for the sake of profound understanding, or scorning the Buddha's words while honoring deviant teachings, slandering the Mahāyāna and praising the śrāvaka way. Such offenses are immeasurable and boundless; today with utmost heart we disclose and repent them.
