The thirty five Buddhas for confession of moral downfalls, when they were bodhisattvas, made very strong prayers that those beings who recited their names after the bodhisattvas became enlightened would accumulate vast merits and purify lifetimes of negative karma, planting the seed for their own enlightenment as well. the blessing comes from saying these Buddhas' name's while performing full body length prostrations to them. The verses repeated (in English) are as follows: To the Founder, Bhagavan, Tathagata, Arhat, perfectly completed Buddha, glorious conqueror Shakyamuni Buddha, I prostrate. To Tathagata Thoroughly Destroying with Vajra Essence, I prostrate. To Tathagata Radiant Jewel, I prostrate. To Tathagata King, Lord of the Nagas, I prostrate.
