The four powers: The power of the support The power to rely on the antidote The power to regret one’s negative actions The power to commit not to repeat these negative actions.
“The aim of Vajrassatva practice is to purify negative actions and obscurations of the mind. […] in the practice of Vajrasattva, if the four powers are not present, it is not a true practice of purification.
The practice of Vajrasattva is used to purify all negative actions, but it is particularly indicated for the purification of broken vows and samayas. Samayas are the basis of our achievements, and it is of the utmost importance to respect them, as well as our commitments, and not to turn a blind eye to our misdeeds, but to purify them immediately. »
