> 《吾願無悔》第148頁，第二段開始

故於最初即當毋染罪墮，設暫由猛利煩惱增上力故，自染著微細罪墮以上，應由誦此《三聚經》之門，依前所說四力而作懺悔。如是，亦如《入行論》云：「我以畏罪心，而於怙主前，長跪手合十，懺悔一切罪。」又云：「晝夜中數數，讀誦《三聚經》。」懺罪軌理說訖。

**如果有個念頭說：「反正我已經學到《三十五佛懺》了，那還怕什麼罪懺不乾淨？所以且造且懺。」這人學明白了嗎？就這個念頭就得墮落，你說他有想改悔的心嗎？沒有。只是想給他不停地造惡業找一種藉口罷了，這個人沒有心向善** ！可以這樣說嗎？帽子不扣大了，有依據吧？所以誰要得到這個法門了說：「啊！沒關係，我現在先造著，以後再懺。」那就看看會騙誰？不要產生這樣的見解。如果你不幸產生了這樣見解怎麼辦啊？懺悔。這個見解本身它就是一個邪見。造一個惡業得磕多少頭，自己想一想！得多少日子不得安寧？沒什麼意思！

I must admit I had this same mischievous thought:  
Since the 35 Buddha Repentance can eradicate my bad Karma, this gives me more leeway to slack in my practice and continue with some of my bad Karma habits. I just have to have continue my 35 Buddha Repentance.

Venerable explains clearly that such a devious thinking renders the 35 Buddha Repentance we do ineffective!
