我为什么在往昔的时候造了很多的恶业？仔细地分析，都是因为无始劫以来由贪瞋痴三毒所生出来的。从身生出杀、盗、淫的业；从口生出妄言、绮语、恶口、两舌的业；从意生出贪、瞋、痴的业。这所有的业，我现在都要忏悔。所谓：

弥天大罪，一忏便消。

Why have we created so much bad karma in the past? Looking into it carefully, we can see that throughout beginning--less eons, the three poisons of greed, anger, and delusion have been the reason. Our bodies kill, steal, and engage in sexual misconduct; our mouths engage in lying, frivolous speech, harsh speech, and divisive speech; and our minds indulge in greed, anger, and delusion. But now we want to repent of all our evil karma and reform. It is said:

Great offenses which fill the heavens Are eradicated by a single thought of repentance.
