The Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance Text (Chinese: 禮佛大懺悔文) is a Buddhist text widely used in the repentance practice or ritual of Buddhism, especially in the East Asian Mahayana tradition, where it is recited daily in monasteries, temples, and households.
The main body of these two scriptures are not included in some versions of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance Text.
[3] It is believed that recitation of the text can help one to clear karmic obstacles and draw out inner wisdom.
According to the sutra, "If a good man, good woman, or all the other sentient beings get to hear the names of these fifty-three Buddhas, they will not fall into the evil destinies for hundreds, thousands, ten thousands millions of asamkhya kalpas.
Thanks to the vows of these Buddhas, various serious offences mentioned above will all be completely wiped out in every thought."
