Continuing from previous post where we list the 53 Buddha(s) name.
The subsequent 35 Buddha names were mentioned in the Upāliparipṛcchā(sūtra) – 佛說決定毘尼經.
There are some similarities in the names with the Tibetan system of 35 Buddha confession prayers.
Accoring to the scripture , one is able to purify the bad karma of committing the 5 Avici misdeeds and the 10 unwholesome deeds.
The 5 Avici misdeeds were mentioned in previous post. In summary;
- Killing one’s Mother
- Killing one’s Father
- Killing an Arhat
- Causing the Buddha to bleed
- Creating a schism in the Buddhist community (Sangha)
These misdeeds leads to the Avici Hells.
The 10 Unwholesome deeds are;
- Killing a sentient being (the worst is to kill a Human)
- Stealing
- Sexual misconduct
- Lying (The worst is to lie about possessing enlightenment and psychic/supernatural power)
- Tale bearing and sowing discord amongst people
- Harsh speech (that including swearing) that hurt others
- Idle speech that promote unwholesome views and thoughts, encourages others to do misdeeds or speak carelessly.
- Mental craving and desire
- Mental ill-will and hatred including aversion
- Ignorance (such as disbelief in Karma)
Note: 1 to 3 relates to our actions. 4 to 7 relates to our speech and 8 to 10 relates to our thoughts.
These misdeeds are considered causes of suffering in one’s life.
