Vajrasattva
Buddha Vajrasattva "specializes"
in helping us to purify our mind.

We have all committed negative or non-virtuous actions in the past which, if they are not purified, will lead to suffering in this life or in future lives. We can exhaust the effects of our negative actions by living through the suffering with a happy mind — or we can purify our minds now, while we have the ability and resources to do so, without having to experience the consequences of our negative actions.

Don't miss this precious opportunity to purify your negative karma! Consider Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's words from Joyful Path of Good Fortune:

"In a very short time we can purify all the negative karma that we have created in the past. The potentialities that we have created in our mind by our past negative actions are formless. Since we cannot see them it is easy to forget that they exist, but if our negative karma were to possess form it would fill the entire universe. All this negativity can be quickly consumed if we use this human life to do strong purification, just as a haystack is quickly consumed by a strong fire."
