The thirty-five buddhas are special confession buddhas. While they were still bodhisattvas, that made special vows to assist other beings to overcome their negativities. The practice of 35 Confessional Buddhas is one of the best methods to purify our negative karma and can lead to attainments on the path towards enlightenment. Thirty-five Confession Buddhas are a representation of the purification of Bodhisattva aspiration and moral code of Mahayana Buddhism. These Buddha are the source of purification and we must completely believe in them and take refuge in them to develop Bodhichitta. Everything can be overcome by sincerely reciting the confession prayer and imagining that the Thirty-five Buddhas and all the buddhas of ten directions are really there. It should be done with total faith, devotion, remorse, humility and conviction in wanting to overcome.
