認清自己的過失
         在佛前 發露自己的過犯
         誓不再犯 求原諒
         願蒙甘露洗淨
         重新上道精進
       至於自己有理無理
         別人了解不了解
           
         誤會不誤會 又該當如何
         都與自懺無關
         提起來就像自飾責他
       更重要的是
         後悔為了私人小事而糾纏
         太無聊了
         眾生的苦 眾生的解脫
         怎麼忘記了

       Key Points of Repentance Yutang Lin
       Recognize clearly one's own mistakes
         In front of Buddha, reveal one's transgressions
         Vow never to commit the same errors, and ask for pardon
         May Buddha's nectar wash one clean and clear
         So one can again advance diligently on the path
       As to whether one has reasons or not
         And others understood one or not
         Misunderstood one or not, and should be like this or that
         These are all irrelevant to one's repentance
         Mentioning such amounts to self-pretense and blaming others
       The most important point is that
         One regrets entanglement for minor personal matters
         What nonsense and waste of life
         Sufferings of sentient beings, and their emancipation
         How come one had all forgotten
