Purification: The 35 Confession Buddhas - a meditation workshop
Saturday, March 23 - 10:00am to 12:30pm
Does it sometimes feel like no matter how hard you try you can’t develop a calm and peaceful mind? Under the influence of anger, jealousy and attachment we have created a great deal of negative karma, as a result we now experience many difficulties and suffering. But no matter how negative our mind is, there is a way to find peace by engaging in purification practice.
One of the most powerful purification practices is the Mahayana Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps, also known as The Bodhisattva’s Confession of Moral Downfalls. In this practice, we visualize the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas and practice purification in their presence. Through the power of their blessings and prayers, we can swiftly purify even the heaviest negative actions simply by faithfully reciting their names.
In this practical meditation workshop Gen Khedrub will explain the meaning and powerful purifying ability of the 35 Confession Buddha practice and so you can begin to develop the calm and peaceful mind you’ve been searching for.
Meditations will be guided and light refreshments will be available during the break. This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced meditators.
Everyone is welcome.
Registration: General ticket $25. Pay at the door or register in advance on our website: https://www.meditationinboston.org/purification-the-35-confession-buddhas
