Verse For Repentance (忏悔文)

Of all my past created evil karma,*
all by beginningless greed, anger and delusion,
from my body, speech and mind as arisen,
for all I now express repentance.**

– Samantabhadra Bodhisattva

(Avatamsaka Sutra)

往昔所造诸恶业，

皆由无始贪嗔痴。
从身语意之所生，
一切我今皆忏悔。

– 普贤菩萨

(华严经)

* Intentional deeds
** Remorse and resolution to make amends
