 往昔所造諸惡業  

     
皆由無始貪嗔痴 

從身語意之所生      

  
今對佛前求懺悔   
  

Confession Verse of a Buddhist  

All the evil karma ever committed by me since of old,   

On account of greed, anger, and folly,

which have no beginning,  

Born of my body, mouth, and thought–    

I now make full open confession of it.  Confession verse is a daily course of practice by fellow Buddhist.
It has to be recited 3 times in the course.
