The Hundred-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva (百字明咒 / 百字名咒) is revered across all lineages of Tibetan Buddhism as the supreme method for purifying karmic obscurations, broken commitments (samaya), and habitual negativities. Practitioners visualize radiant white Vajrasattva above their crown sending down blissful white nectar that cleanses body, speech, and mind.

Spiritual Meaning & Benefits

When recited with the Four Opponent Powers (reliance, regret, resolution, and remedial action), it purifies even the heaviest negative karma and prevents daily downfalls from multiplying.
