Buddhist interpretation

The abbreviation of ama is "forbearance", that is, asking others to endure sin; Regret means regret, that is, regret past sins, repent and apologize in front of buddhas, bodhisattvas, teachers and the public; Achieve the goal of eliminating crime. According to the translation of the Book of Changes, it is said that everything in the fifteenth volume of Pi Naje has a note, and confession and regret have different meanings. Repentance is a request for forgiveness (slight); Regret is a Sanskrit translation of Patti-Pratitides/Ana (Abedi Poti Ladi Tishna), which means self-incrimination (expressing guilt) (serious). Besides, there are different opinions, but the theory of righteousness and purity is correct.
In the primitive Buddhist order, when a monk committed a crime, the Buddha made him repent or repent, went to Busa regularly every half month, and set the last day of summer settlement as a day of self-indulgence.

According to Jue Yuan Jing, there are five ways for Hinayana to confess: (1) leaning on the right shoulder, which is convenient for taking. (2) Landing on the right knee means encouragement and sincerity. (3) Cross your hands to show sincerity.
