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.

One of the most powerful purification practices is the Mahayana Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps. In this practice, we visualize the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas, practise purification in their presence, and also acknowledge and dedicate our virtuous, beneficial actions.

Gen Delek will explain the practice and together we will engage in it, purifying negative actions and accumulating merit on behalf of ourself, others, and the whole world.
