罪從心起將心懺,心若滅時罪亦亡;
心亡罪滅兩俱空,是則名為真懺悔。

Verse of Repentance
Xuefeng Yunwen (Years unknown, Song Dynasty)
English translation: Ven. Miao Guang
Transgression arises from the mind,
Thus repentance should also begin from there;
Upon extinguishment of the mind,
Transgressions will also cease.
When both extinguishment and cessation are empty,
Repentance is thus in its truest form.
── from Dahui Pujue Chanshi Pushuo
(Open Lectures of Chan Master Dajue Puhui)
