Repentance chant
Sravasti Abbey Monastics 
Chants from the Chinese Tradition 
Jul 1, 2023 A chant from the Chinese Buddhist tradition usually done at the beginning of posadha, the monastics' bimonthly confession and purification of precepts.
Every harmful action I have done
With my body, speech, and mind,
Overwhelmed by attachment, anger, and confusion,
All these I openly lay bare before you.
