Purifying negative karma makes it much easier to attain liberation and actualize the path to enlightenment. It also decreases our suffering and any obstacles that might arise. Purifying negative karma with the four powers means that we won’t have to experience the many eons of suffering in the lower realms that result from not purifying even one negative karma, and we won’t have to experience again and again without end the four suffering results that arise from each unpurified negative karma (excerpt from https://www.lamayeshe.com/advice/benefits-vajrasattva-practice-1)

​

In this course, Geshe Lobsang Dorjee will present how to use the Vajrasattva practice with emphasis on the following, done with Four  powers or remedy:

• How to visualise

• Contemplating suffering due to past karma

• How to transform these past karma using Vajrasattva practice

In Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand by Pabongka Rinpoche explains how the great Atisha would purify any negativity, no matter how small, immediately. Even in public or riding his horse, as soon as he noticed a breach in his ethics, he would stop what he was doing a, drop to one knee and then and there , purify it with the four opponent powers - the powers of dependence, regret, remedy and restraint. Thus we can be like the great Atisha, - whenever we notice we have broken vow or created any kind of negative karma we can consult our Vajrasattva practice and purify that negativity with the four opponent powers without a second’s delay. - Excerpt from Daily Purification by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
