Those who violate pure conduct and commit the ten evil deeds, when they hear this mantra, their filth will be washed away and they will regain purity. If there are karmic obstacles, turbidity, evil, and unwholesomeness, by reciting the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa) and upholding this mantra, the karmic obstacles will be broken and one will see the Buddha in the present moment.

In this life and future lives, inauspicious events will be completely eradicated, and the upholding of precepts, diligent progress, mindfulness, concentration, and total retention will all be fully attained.

惟。若戒不清净决须忏悔。是故经云。佛法之中有二健儿。一性不作恶。二作已能悔。今造过知悔名健人也。夫忏名忏谢三宝及一切众生。悔名惭愧改过求哀。我今此罪若得灭者。于将来时宁失身命终不更犯。如比丘白佛。我宁抱是炽然大火。终不敢毁犯净戒(此下语出法华三昧)复忆无始所造乃至今生业性虽空果报不失。颠倒因缘起诸重罪。流泪悲泣口宣忏悔(应心念言。我及众生无始常为三业六根重罪所障。不见诸佛不知出要。低顺生死不知妙理。我今虽知犹与众生同。为一切重罪所障。今对观音十方佛前。普与众生归命忏悔。唯愿加护令障消灭。念已唱云)。 普为法界众生悉愿。断除三障归命忏悔(唱已五体投地心复念云。我与众生无始来今。由爱见故内计我人外加恶友。不随喜他一毫之善。唯遍三业广造众罪。事虽不广恶心遍布。昼夜相续无有间断。覆覆过失不欲人知。不畏恶道无惭无愧。拨无因果故于今日深信因果。生重惭愧生大怖畏。发露忏悔断相续心。发菩提心断恶修善。勤策三业翻昔重过。随喜凡圣一毫之善。念十方佛有大福慧。能救拔我及诸众生。从二死海置三德岸。从无始来不知诸法。本性空寂广造众恶。今知空寂为求菩提。为众生故广修诸善遍断众恶。唯愿观音慈悲摄受)。 现代汉语译本： 如果戒律不清净，就必须忏悔。所以经中说：‘佛法中有两种健儿，一是天性不作恶，二是作恶后能悔改。’如今犯错后知道悔改，就称为健人。所谓‘忏’，就是向三宝及一切众生忏谢；所谓‘悔’，就是惭愧、改过、求哀。我如今所造的罪业，如果能够灭除，那么在将来，宁可失去生命，也终不再犯。如同比丘对佛说：‘我宁愿拥抱炽燃的大火，也终不敢毁犯清净的戒律。’（以下出自《法华三昧》）又忆念无始以来所造，乃至如今生所造的业，业性虽然是空，但果报不会消失。由于颠倒的因缘，生起各种重罪。流泪悲泣，口中宣说忏悔。（应在心中默念：我及众生，无始以来，常被三业六根的重罪所障碍，不见诸佛，不知解脱的要道，沉溺生死，不知妙理。我如今虽然知道，仍然与众生一样，被一切重罪所障碍。如今在观音菩萨、十方诸佛面前，普遍与众生一起归命忏悔。唯愿加持护佑，令罪障消灭。念完后唱诵：） 普遍为了法界众生，都希望断除三障，归命忏悔。（唱诵完毕后，五体投地，心中再次默念：我与众生，从无始以来直到如今，由于爱和邪见，内心算计自我和他人，外在结交恶友，不随喜他人一毫之善，只是通过身口意三业广泛造作各种罪恶。事情虽然不大，但恶心遍布，昼夜相续，没有间断，掩盖过失，不希望别人知道，不畏惧恶道，没有惭愧之心。否定因果，所以今天深深相信因果，生起深深的惭愧，生起巨大的恐惧。发露忏悔，断绝相续的恶念，发起菩提心，断恶修善，勤勉策励身口意三业，翻转过去所造的重罪，随喜凡夫和圣人的一毫之善。忆念十方诸佛有大福德和大智慧，能够救拔我和一切众生，从二死（分段生死和变易生死）之海，安置到三德（法身德、般若德、解脱德）的彼岸。从无始以来，不知道诸法的本性是空寂，广泛造作各种恶业。如今知道空寂，为了求得菩提，为了众生的缘故，广泛修习各种善业，普遍断除各种恶业。唯愿观音菩萨慈悲摄受。）

English version: If the precepts are not pure, one must repent. Therefore, the sutra says: 'In the Buddha-dharma, there are two brave people: one is by nature not to do evil, and the other is to repent after doing evil.' Now, knowing to repent after committing a mistake is called a brave person. 'Repentance' (忏, Chàn) means to confess and thank the Three Jewels (三宝, Sānbǎo) and all sentient beings; 'Remorse' (悔, Huǐ) means to be ashamed, to correct mistakes, and to beg for forgiveness. If the sins I have committed now can be eradicated, then in the future, I would rather lose my life than commit them again. It is like the Bhikshu (比丘, Bǐqiū) saying to the Buddha: 'I would rather embrace the blazing fire than dare to violate the pure precepts.' (The following is from the *Samadhi of the Lotus Flower Sutra*《法华三昧》, *Fǎhuá Sānmèi*) And remembering the karma created from beginningless time until this life, although the nature of karma is empty, the retribution will not disappear. Due to inverted causes and conditions, various serious sins arise. Shedding tears and weeping, verbally confessing repentance. (One should silently recite in one's heart: I and all sentient beings, from beginningless time, have always been obstructed by the serious sins of the three karmas (三业, Sānyè) and the six senses (六根, Liùgēn), not seeing the Buddhas, not knowing the essential path to liberation, sinking into birth and death, not knowing the wonderful truth. Although I know now, I am still the same as sentient beings, obstructed by all serious sins. Now, before Avalokiteśvara (观音, Guānyīn) and the Buddhas of the ten directions, I universally repent with all sentient beings. May they bless and protect us, so that the obstacles may be eliminated. After reciting, chant:) Universally for all sentient beings in the Dharma realm, may they all eliminate the three obstacles (三障, Sānzhàng) and take refuge in repentance. (After chanting, prostrate with the five limbs touching the ground, and silently recite in the heart again: I and all sentient beings, from beginningless time until now, due to love and wrong views, internally calculating self and others, externally associating with evil friends, not rejoicing in even a hair's breadth of goodness in others, but only widely creating various sins through the three karmas of body, speech, and mind. Although the matters are not great, the evil mind pervades, continuing day and night without interruption, covering up faults, not wanting others to know, not fearing evil paths, without shame or remorse. Denying cause and effect, therefore today I deeply believe in cause and effect, giving rise to deep shame, giving rise to great fear. Revealing repentance, cutting off the continuous evil thoughts, generating Bodhicitta (菩提心, Pútíxīn), cutting off evil and cultivating goodness, diligently encouraging the three karmas, reversing the heavy sins of the past, rejoicing in even a hair's breadth of goodness in ordinary people and sages. Remembering that the Buddhas of the ten directions have great merit and great wisdom, able to save me and all sentient beings, from the sea of the two deaths (分段生死, fēn duàn shēngsǐ and 变易生死, biànyì shēngsǐ), placing us on the shore of the three virtues (三德, sāndé) (Dharmakaya (法身, Fǎshēn), Prajna (般若, Bōrě), and Liberation (解脱, Jiětuō)). From beginningless time, not knowing that the inherent nature of all dharmas is emptiness and stillness, widely creating various evil deeds. Now knowing emptiness and stillness, for the sake of seeking Bodhi (菩提, Pútí), for the sake of sentient beings, widely cultivating various good deeds, universally cutting off various evil deeds. May Avalokiteśvara (观音, Guānyīn) compassionately receive us.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
