Gatha (Verse) of Atonement

All karma ever committed by me since of old,

Due to my beginingless greed, hatred, and delusion;

Born of my actions, speech, and thought;

Now I atone for it all.

Verse of the Kesa (Robe)

Vast is the robe of liberation,

A formless field of benefaction.

I wear the Tathagata teaching

Serving all sentient beings.
