In this morning course, Gen Kelsang Mila will give teachings on a powerful practice for purifying obstacles – the purification practice of the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas. Through following these instructions, our spiritual path will be light and joyful. We will learn how to visualize the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas, what each one helps us to purify, and the four powers to actually purify our past negative actions and help us develop strong, mindful discipline.
We will engage in a guided session of the actual practice to purify our minds. The actual practice is called the Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps, also known as the Bodhisattva’s Confession of Moral Downfall.
Because of the negative actions that we have created in the past under the influence of deluded minds we now experience suffering and problems, as well as difficulties in developing faith and conviction in spiritual practice and in making progress on the path to enlightenment. But no matter how negative our mind is we have the opportunity to purify it completely by engaging in purification, the root of future happiness and spiritual realizations.
