English version: Having fun, isn't it delightful? When this thought arises, the eighty-four thousand forests of evil swords in Avici Hell (the most painful of the eight great hells) will transform into jeweled trees, blooming with flowers and bearing fruit, arranged in rows before the sinners. The scorching flames will transform into lotuses beneath the trees. Upon seeing this, the sinners will think, 'What I wished for has now come to fruition.' As they speak these words, they will sit upon the lotuses faster than a rainstorm. Once seated, instantly, iron-beaked insects will emerge from the fiery lotuses, piercing through bones, entering marrow, penetrating hearts, and piercing brains, climbing up the trees. All the sword branches will slice the sinners' flesh, piercing through bones. Countless forests of knives will descend from above. Chariots of fire, furnaces of charcoal, and the eighteen kinds of suffering will all arrive at once. When this scene appears, the sinners will fall into the ground, their bodies blooming like flowers from the bottom up, filling the entire lower space. From the lower space, fierce flames will rise, reaching the upper space. Upon reaching the upper space, their bodies will be filled within. Due to extreme heat and torment, they will open their eyes and stick out their tongues. Because of this person's sins, trillions of molten copper and hundreds of thousands of knife wheels will descend from the sky, entering from the head and exiting from the feet. All the suffering is a hundred thousand times more painful than what was described above. Those who have committed the five heinous crimes (parricide, matricide, killing an Arhat, injuring a Buddha, and causing schism in the Sangha) will suffer for five kalpas (an extremely long unit of time). All of us in this assembly, since our original bodies, until our present bodies, until today, during this time, we have indulged in the three karmas of body, speech, and mind, committing sins as described above. We enjoy doing them, we do them often, immeasurably and boundlessly. Now, having heard the Buddha's description of Avici Hell, our hearts are terrified, our hairs stand on end, we are filled with immeasurable fear and immeasurable shame. Now, facing the ordinary and the holy in this assembly, we confess and repent, wishing that our sins will be completely eradicated, leaving nothing behind. Having repented, we wholeheartedly take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (the lord of the Western Pure Land). The high praise chant follows: Having repented, we wholeheartedly take refuge in Amitabha Buddha. The following repentance text follows the high praise chant: All of us in this assembly, since the beginningless past, until our present bodies, until today, during this time, we have indulged in the karmas of body, speech, and mind, committing all kinds of sins. Or we have broken the five precepts, the eight precepts, the ten precepts, the three refuges, the four qualities of unwavering confidence, the three karmas precepts, the ten inexhaustible precepts, the Śrāvakayāna precepts, the Mahāyāna precepts, and all the precepts of conduct, the four major and eight minor precepts, etc. We have consumed the offerings of believers in vain, slandered, held wrong views, not recognized cause and effect, and cut off the study of pāramitā (perfection). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: If someone slanders the Buddhas of the ten directions (referring to Buddhas in all directions), steals the property of the Sangha (Sanghika property refers to items owned in common by the Sangha), engages in unrestrained and immoral sexual misconduct, coerces and abducts Bhikkhunis, sisters, or relatives who uphold pure precepts, is without shame or remorse, defames and insults relatives, and commits all kinds of evil deeds. Or if one delights in practicing the ten non-virtuous actions instead of cultivating the ten virtuous actions, creating an obstacle; delights in enduring the eight sufferings instead of upholding the eight precepts, creating an obstacle; delights in the three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion instead of taking refuge in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), creating an obstacle; delights in committing the five heinous crimes instead of upholding the five precepts, creating an obstacle; delights in falling into hell and enduring extreme suffering as karmic retribution instead of cultivating the causes for rebirth in the Pure Land of ultimate bliss, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of ignorance of the animal realm instead of cultivating wisdom and compassion, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of stinginess and greed, and the jealousy of the hungry ghost realm, instead of practicing generosity and benefiting others, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of flattery and deceit of the Asura realm instead of practicing truthfulness and trustworthiness, with words and actions consistent, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of anger, hatred, and harming beings of the poisonous dragon realm instead of practicing joy and loving-kindness, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of arrogance and self-importance, the unfreedom of the Asura realm, instead of practicing humility, respect for elders, and honorable conduct, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of wrong views, breaking precepts, and evil views, thinking that cultivating virtue brings no blessings and committing evil brings no calamities, the karma of heretical Icchantikas (those who have severed their roots of goodness), instead of practicing right view and disciplined conduct, creating an obstacle to transcending the world and being reborn in the Pure Land; delights in creating the karma of destroying the Three Jewels and ruining others' good deeds, the karma of evil spirits, instead of practicing protecting and cherishing the Three Jewels and accomplishing the merits of others, creating an obstacle; delights in enduring the long-term bondage of the three realms of humans and gods instead of craving the unproduced liberation of the Pure Land, creating an obstacle; delights in enduring the narrow and inferior karma of the Two Vehicles (Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas) instead of practicing the vast compassion of Bodhisattvas, creating an obstacle; delights in associating with evil friends instead of delighting in associating with Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and virtuous spiritual friends, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of the six greed (form, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma) and six defects (stinginess, transgression, anger, laziness, distraction, ignorance) instead of practicing the six perfections (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, wisdom) and the four means of attraction (giving, kind speech, beneficial action, cooperation), creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of not recognizing cause and effect and resisting and offending, to the extent that one does not know that one possesses the Tathagata Buddha-nature within, creating an obstacle; delights in creating the karma of eating the flesh and drinking the wine of all beings, and consuming the five pungent roots (garlic, onions, leeks, chives, asafoetida), leading to illness and a short life, instead of practicing loving-kindness, delighting in hearing the Dharma, and offering incense and flowers to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, creating an obstacle. These obstructing sins, whether committed by oneself, instigated in others, or rejoiced in when seen being committed by others, whether done intentionally or unintentionally, in jest or in anger, in favorable or unfavorable circumstances, with love or hatred, are immeasurable and boundless. They are beyond thought, beyond exhaustive description, and unspeakable. They are as numerous as the dust particles of the earth, as boundless as space, as boundless as the Dharma realm, as boundless as the Dharma nature, and as boundless as skillful means. The sins committed by myself and all beings are also like this. Such sins, from the highest Bodhisattvas to the lowest Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, cannot be fully known. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 知。唯佛与佛乃能知我罪之多少。
