1.82

"Furthermore, visualize one's body falling into the Avīci hell, suffering all afflictions in the eighteen hells; in the midst of hell, recite 'Namo Buddhāya, Namo Dharmāya, Namo Bhikṣusaṅghāya', practicing the six recollections. The buddhas and Tathāgatas, in their dreams, emit the white ūrṇā-ray to rescue them from the suffering of hell. Having seen this, like a debtor feeling ashamed and knowing they must repay it, with single-minded determination take off the saṅghāṭī, put on the antarvāsa, and go to the pure saṅgha, casting the five limbs to the ground like the collapse of a great mountain, feeling shame in the mind to confess and repent all sins, serving as a laborer for the saṅgha to perform all hard toil—sweeping toilets and carrying dung—for eight hundred days.
