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;

1. Killing one’s Mother
2. Killing one’s Father
3. Killing an Arhat
4. Causing the Buddha to bleed
5. Creating a schism in the Buddhist community (Sangha)

These misdeeds leads to the Avici Hells.

The 10 Unwholesome deeds are;

1. Killing a sentient being (the worst is to kill a Human)
2. Stealing
3. Sexual misconduct
4. Lying (The worst is to lie about possessing enlightenment and psychic/supernatural power)
5. Tale bearing and sowing discord amongst people
6. Harsh speech (that including swearing) that hurt others
7. Idle speech that promote unwholesome views and thoughts, encourages others to do misdeeds or speak carelessly.
8. Mental craving and desire
9. Mental ill-will and hatred including aversion
10. 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.
