Hundred-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva

Pronunciation according to Guru C. M. Chen

The Mantra of Vajrasattva should, like every other incantation, be imparted by a guru though we give its meaning here for meditative purposes:

OM VAJRASATTVA SAMAYA	alling His name and samaya.
MANUPALAYA	lease let me not forget my pure nature.
VAJRASATTVA TVENOPATISTA	lease bestow on me Buddhahood.
DRITHO ME BHAVA	lease make my Sunyata nature firm.
SUTOKEYU ME BHAVA	lease help me with yogic enjoyment.
SUPOKEYU ME BHAVA	lease may I not depart from my Sunyata nature.
ANURAKTO ME BHAVA	lease may I not be without the nature of pleasure.
SARVA SIDDHI ME DRAYATA	lease bestow full achievement on me.
SARVA KARMA SUCA ME	lease give me the freedom of every good karma.
CITTAM SREYAH KURU HUM	lease give me great boldness of mind.
HA HA HA HA HOH	lease lead me to get the five wisdoms and their functions.
BHAGAVAN SARVA TATHAGATA VAJRAMA ME MUNCA	Tathagatas and Vajarasattvas, do not leave me.
VAJRA BHAVA	let me depart from your nature of Vajra.
MAHA SAMAYASATVA	let me abide in the great Samaya of Vajrasattva.
AH HUM PHAT	lease subdue my sorrows.

Only one line is actually used for confession, that is, the one beginning with "All Tathagatas, etc." since if one is not purified by confession one cannot unite into their vajra nature and will then be in great danger. Hence this line is very important.
