经部中说:总的来说,从三昧耶的差别上,对时间的差别进行明确区分。违犯誓言所造成的罪过,如果未超过一天,则向所观修的本尊忏悔,这样就能恢复。如果违犯誓言未超过一个月,则以强烈的后悔心忏悔。如果违犯誓言超过一年,则在(174)未超过的时间内忏悔。如果违犯誓言长达两年到三年,这被称为誓言破损,如果非常严重,还可以补救。如果超过三年,则无法补救,如果强行补救,则双方都会烧毁。必须承受地狱的痛苦,只能持续不断地承受。如是说。弥补的方法也在其中说到:如果违犯,则通过会供轮坛忏悔。如果破损,则用自己的财物弥补。如果超过,则用儿子、妻子、近亲、身体、语言、意以及所有财物来弥补。如果破损严重,则用自己的生命来弥补。如果从那之后又退转,则被称为大破损,无法补救。如是说。因此,对于任何破损和缺失,都要通过会供轮坛忏悔,并通过建造佛像和经书的善行来净化。通过顶礼和绕转,念诵咒语和诵经,修习甚深的生起次第和圆满次第的禅定来忏悔。通过三门行持苦行(175),并主要净化从哪一门造成的破损。如果身体上造成的破损,则主要通过身体顶礼等方式净化。如果语言上造成的破损,说了恶语等,则以百倍的功德赞颂和念诵。如果意念上产生了邪见等,则以百倍的功德思维,正确地观察,修习有相的生起次第,无相的圆满次第来净化。经中说:正直而坐,如实观看,这是最殊胜的忏悔。如是说。也就是说,通过后悔和痛苦,以及显现的苦行,首先彻底忏悔粗大的障碍,然后为了在没有后悔的情况下恢复,要用空性法性的自性来净化细微的污垢。有些人认为一开始就用空性来印持是可以的,但事实并非如此,因为所积累的是以分别念积累的,如果不以分别念来净化,就不会变得清净,因为烦恼的障碍仍然(176)停留在原地。

It is said in the Tantras: Generally speaking, from the differences in samaya, the differences in time should be clearly distinguished. Whatever transgressions are committed by violating vows, if it has not exceeded a day, then confess to the visualized deity, and in this way, it can be restored. If the violation of vows has not exceeded a month, then confess with strong remorse. If the violation of vows has exceeded a year, then confess within the time that has not (174) exceeded. If the violation of vows lasts for two to three years, this is called a broken vow, and if it is very serious, it can still be remedied. If it exceeds three years, then it cannot be remedied, and if it is forcibly remedied, both parties will be burned. One must endure the suffering of hell, and can only endure it continuously. So it is said. The method of atonement is also mentioned therein: If there is a violation, then confess through the tsok khorlo (assembly wheel). If there is a breakage, then atone with one's own possessions. If it is exceeded, then atone with one's son, wife, close relatives, body, speech, mind, and all possessions. If it is severely broken, then atone with one's own life. If one regresses from that point, it is called a great breakage, and it cannot be remedied. So it is said. Therefore, for any breakage and deficiency, one should confess through the tsok khorlo, and purify through the merit of building Buddha images and scriptures. Confess through prostrations and circumambulations, reciting mantras and sutras, and meditating on the profound generation stage and completion stage samadhi. Practice austerities with the three doors (175), and mainly purify the breakage caused by whichever door. If the breakage is caused by the body, then mainly purify it through bodily prostrations and so on. If the breakage is caused by speech, by saying bad words and so on, then praise and recite its qualities a hundredfold. If the mind has produced wrong views and so on, then contemplate its qualities a hundredfold, correctly observe, and purify by practicing the generation stage with signs and the completion stage without signs. It is said in the scriptures: Sit upright and look correctly, this is the most supreme confession. So it is said. That is to say, through regret and suffering, and the manifestation of austerities, first thoroughly confess the gross obscurations, and then in order to restore without regret, one should purify the subtle defilements with the self-nature of emptiness dharmata. Some people think that it is permissible to seal with emptiness from the beginning, but this is not the case, because what is accumulated is accumulated with conceptual thought, and if it is not purified with conceptual thought, it will not become pure, because the obscurations of affliction still (176) remain in place.
