      If, by body, speech or mind,

      I have carelessly done wrong,

      may I be forgiven,

      O Tathagatha of great wisdom.

      Accayaṁ me kataṁ Buddha

      yaṁ taṁ āvikaromi te

      anāvataṁ asallīnaṁ

      By acknowledging my transgressions

      with openness and honesty

      before the Buddha most wise,

      may my mind be always pure.

      If, by body, speech or mind,

      others have done me wrong,

      I forgive them everything now,

      before the fully enlightened Buddha.

      So 'haṁ khamāmi niddukkhā

      khemino viharantu te
