Purifying Downfalls: 5 Buddha Vows Practice
What short daily recitation practice can reverse all our negative karmas and downfalls?
Why should it be recited every day, or at least on the 10th and the 25th of each lunar month? Why is the Bodhisattva Vow vitally important to reversing downfalls and purifying? Why are the five bonding aspirations of the 5 Buddha Families so empowering? We answer these questions, and end with a beautiful, short recitation of the Concise Bodhisattva Vow and 5 Bonding Vows which purifies all negative karma and downfalls.
Three short daily practices help us purify our negative downfalls and karmas daily. These recitations are encouraged for most Buddhists, and required for those who have taken the commitments. The first, Refuge in the Three Jewels, is for all Buddhists. The second, the Bodhisattva commitment and vow to help all beings, is a must for Mahayana Buddhists of the Great Vehicle. The third, the 5 Bonding Vows of the 5 Buddha Families is for most Vajrayana Buddhists, and necessary for anyone with Higher Initiations.
Here we provide PDF downloads of Pujas, Practices, Sadhanas, and Sutras for recitation:
