罪如霜露
劉宋 曇摩蜜多 譯 ( 356~442 )

一切業障海，皆從妄想生；
若欲懺悔者，端坐念實相。
眾罪如霜露，慧日能消除；
是故應至心，懺悔六情根。

Offenses Are Like Frost and Dew
Translated into Chinese by Dharmamitra (356 - 442, Liu-Song Dynasty)
English translation: Zhi Yue

The sea of all karmic obstructions
    originate from delusive thoughts.
If one wishes to repent,
    sit upright and be mindful of reality.
The transgressions of the multitude,
    like frost and dew,
    can be eliminated by the sun of wisdom.
Therefore, one should wholeheartedly repent
    the emotions arising from the six sense organs.
── from Foshuo Guan Puxian Pusa Xingfa Jing (Samantabhadra Contemplation Sutra)
