Daily Confession
[Inkin Bell or Moktak struck at each syllable throughout]
I respectfully Bow to Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, all Buddhas in the ten directions, boundless Buddha-Dharma, and the virtuous Sangha.
Having lived many lives, under heavy karmic obstacles: desire, anger, pride, illusion and ignorance; today because of Buddha's teaching, knowing this as mistake, with sincere heart I confess.
I vow to eliminate evils, and to do good, I respectfully entreat the Buddhas for their compassionate assistance: body without sickness, mind empty of frustration and anxiety. Every day happy to practice the wonderful teaching of the Buddha in order to quickly depart from birth and death, understand mind, seeing into its true nature, develop wisdom and gain the spiritual power; in order to rescue all of my honored elders, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, relatives, and may all living beings realize complete Buddha-hoooood. [Rolling hit and seated bow]
