SUMMARY:35 Confession Buddhas
DESCRIPTION:The Boddhisattvas Confessions of Moral Downfalls \nNo 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. 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. During this practice\, we will make one prostration to each of the 35 Buddhas.

SUMMARY:Tara Prayers
DESCRIPTION:At Kadampa Centers worldwide\, the eighth of the month is Tara Day. Tara is a female Buddha\, whose name means “Rescuer”. She is the embodiment of swift compassion. If we rely upon Tara sincerely and with strong faith\, she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our wishes. Tara has the ability to protect us from all inner and outer fears – such as the dangers from wind and water.
