　　In all Worlds the myriad World Honored Buddhas are always thus abiding in those Worlds. And if in our present lives or in our past lives, we have yielded to the beginningless cycles of life and death and have assembled sins, these Myriad World Honored Ones have suitable compassionate thoughts for us. If I have acted or if I have urged others to act, I understand that following my desires is like mistaking a pagoda for an assembly of monks or for an assembly of living beings. If I have become attached or if I have urged others to become attached, I see that from these desires come the Five Uninterrupted Sins. If I have acted or if I have urged others to act, I understand that from acting according to desire comes the Ten Unvirtuous Paths. If I act or urge others to act, I see that acting according to desires sets up sinful barriers, and whether or not one has carefully examined the Pitakas, one like this deservedly falls into Hell, or becomes a Hungry Ghost, or is reborn as animal or one of the many other kinds of incarnations that result from sin. The Border of the Pure Land is not won cheaply, nor can it be reached by non-Buddhists. Thus we here who are held back by sinful obstructions now confess and repent all of them.

By doing these things with no thought except for the benefit of all living beings, we will come to possess good roots. By cultivating the actions of Bodhi-Wisdom, we will come to possess good roots. And when we finally achieve the Unsurpassed Knowledge, we will have done so because of having these good roots. Adding all this together, we can assess our gain and these merits we completely and totally offer up to the Unexcelled Complete Enlightenment. Thus in the past, present and future, as is presently being made manifest by these Myriad Buddhas, therefore I likewise do this for the benefit of others. My assembled sins I confess and repent, and their Infinite Blessings put an end to my self-indulgence. I also beg for these Buddhas” Meritorious Virtues, vowing that I shall p…
