Meditation and Recitation of Vajrasattva — a practice of purification and healing which removes illnesses and obscurations of all kinds through meditating on the sambhogakaya buddha Vajrasattva and reciting his mantra—the hundred syllable mantra. This practice, which is common to all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, is also one of the inner preliminary or ‘foundation’ practices (Tib. ngöndro) of Vajrayana Buddhism.
