35 Confession Buddhas ~ Thekchhog Kunzang Chhodon Nunnery ~ Prayer Hall

35 Buddhas are known from the Sutra of the Three Heaps (Sanskrit: Triskandhadharmasutra), popular in Tibetan Buddhism. This Mahayana sutra actually describes a practice of purification by confession and making prostrations to these Buddhas.
In our life we have committed countless negative actions that we might be aware or unaware of. We have aspects of ourselves that we do not like and wish to change. Purification practices are excellent means to remove negative emotional burdens such as anger, jealousy, pride as well as to pacify the obstacles to our happiness and self-improvement created by the imprints of our destructive actions. By acting through confessions and prostrations to purify negative imprints and afflictions is very productive to our spiritual improvement. It helps us to change our bad habits and subdues obstacles to long life and success in our spiritual practice.
