現在賢劫千佛名經 1.21

1.21

「又復，無始已來，或墮胎破卵、毒藥蠱道，傷殺眾生，墾土掘地、種植田園，養蠶煮繭，傷殺滋甚；或打撲蚊虻、拍嚙蚤虱；或燒除糞掃開決溝渠，抂害一切；或噉果實；或用穀米、或水、或菜橫殺眾生；或然樵薪、或露燈燭，燒諸虫類；或食醬醋，不看搖動；或寫湯水，澆殺虫蟻。如是乃至行住坐臥，四威儀中，恒常傷殺，飛空着地，細微眾生。弟子等，以凡夫識暗，不覺不知，今日至誠皆悉懺悔。

'Furthermore, from beginningless time, we have induced abortions, broken eggs, used poisons and witchcraft to injure and kill sentient beings; tilled the soil, dug the earth, cultivated fields and orchards, raised silkworms and boiled cocoons, harming and killing exceedingly; or struck and swatted mosquitoes and horseflies, crushed fleas and lice; or burned away refuse and sweepings, opened and cleared ditches, wrongfully harming all; or eaten fruits; or wrongfully killed sentient beings by using grains, rice, water, or vegetables; or burned firewood, or exposed open flames and candles, burning various types of insects; or consumed sauces and vinegar without checking for movement; or poured out boiling water, scalding insects and ants to death. In such ways, throughout our four postures of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, we have constantly harmed and killed minute sentient beings flying in the air and clinging to the earth. We disciples, with the darkness of worldly minds, were unconscious and unaware, and today, with utmost sincerity, we confess and repent of them all.
