Purifying the Past | The Practice of the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas

In our previous lives, under the influence of deluded minds, we engaged in non-virtuous actions and created negative karma. As a result, we now experience difficulties in making spiritual progress, and particularly in developing faith and conviction in Dharma. One of the best methods to purify these obstacles is the practice presented in the Mahayana Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps, also known as the practice of the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas. These thirty-five Buddhas have a special karmic link with the humans of this world, and through the power of their blessings and prayers we can swiftly purify even the heaviest negative karma.

On this weekend course, Gen-la Kunsang will provide a commentary to the precious and powerful practice of the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas. By following these instructions we can quickly eliminate obstructions to our spiritual development and make real progress on the path to Enlightenment.

Everybody welcome.
