Date: May 1, 2012	Confession Buddhas Throughout our many lives, we have committed many negative actions, all of which we shall experience the consequences of. If we purify these negative actions, we can prevent ourselves from experiencing these consequences. The practice explained in The Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps, or Prostration practice, provides just such an opportunity to purify our negativities. A more detailed explanation of this practice can be found in the book, The Bodhisattva Vow.
