참회 예참 108 Prostrations of Great Repentance by BTN

108 Prostrations of Great Repentance by BTN (English) - Hyun Gak 현각스님 녹음

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Buddha taught

that there are

one hundred and eight delusions

of mind.

 

Reflecting deeply on the

essential truth that we self-create

and amplify our many suffering

through attachment to deluded

thoughts,

 

we bow 108 times

in repentance, to clear our

minds of these thoughts.

 

May all offences

accumulated during

hundreds of kalpas

now be totally consumed

in an instant,

 

as fire burns dry grass

extinguishing all things

until nothing remains.

 

Our offenses have no self-nature,

but arise only from our minds.

If our minds are extinguished,

then our offenses too will be destroyed.

 

When both our minds and our

offenses are extinguished,

and both are seen as empty,

this is termed the true repentance.

 

Hoping that the time spent

prostrating will offer you

peace, wisdom and equanimity...

 

108 Prostrations of Great

Repentance by BTN

 

We go for guidance to the Holy One,

the Buddha, who saves all creatures

from the three painful states;

 

We desire that all creatures may

all together enter into the

bliss of the uncreated.

 

We who will suffer rebirth in the

three realms, and who are not yet

freed from our obligations and

involvements,

 

may we cast off these

obligations and

enter into the uncreated,

 

and by so doing fulfill our

greatest obligation.
