Buddha Vajrasattva Purification Retreat (Unguided)

“The meditation and recitation practice of Vajrasattva is the method by which we can purify our negativities.” —Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Vajrasattva is the Buddha of purification. When we develop a basic understanding of the laws of karma, we begin to avoid negative actions and naturally wish to remove the seeds of sufferings planted by our past negative actions. During this retreat, we have the opportunity to engage in the powerful purification practices of Buddha Vajrasattva with the four opponent powers and in this way, we can remove the inner causes of our problems and sufferings, and create the cause for peace and happiness.

The Four Opponent Powers:

1- Power of Regret

2- Power of Reliance

3- Power of Opponent Force

4- Power of Promise

Prayer booklet used: Offering to the Spiritual Guide and Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva.
