治禪病祕要法 1.85

1.85

"When he wishes to recite the precepts, he should make this announcement: 'The bhikṣu so-and-so (or bhikṣuṇī so-and-so) has performed arduous labor for eight hundred days and contemplated the ūrṇā between the Buddha's eyebrows for seven days; his contemplation of poisonous snakes and visualization of hell have succeeded. He has further contemplated a Buddha expounding the method of repentance, the gate of the contemplation of impurity, and the mirror of selflessness and impersonality, returning again to thorough mastery of the realm of practice. A Buddha has poured water from a washing jar onto this bhikṣu's crown, and a heavenly deity has appeared in a dream declaring him to be purified. Now he is ashamed and remorseful; I bear witness to this. May you please grant your permission.'"
