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	Calling His name and samaya.
MANUPALAYA	Please let me not forget my pure nature.
VAJRASATTVA TVENOPATISTA	Please bestow on me Buddhahood.
DRITHO ME BHAVA	Please make my Sunyata nature firm.
SUTOKEYU ME BHAVA	Please help me with yogic enjoyment.
SUPOKEYU ME BHAVA	Please may I not depart from my Sunyata nature.
ANURAKTO ME BHAVA	Please may I not be without the nature of pleasure.
SARVA SIDDHI ME DRAYATA	Please bestow full achievement on me.
SARVA KARMA SUCA ME	Please give me the freedom of every good karma.
CITTAM SREYAH KURU HUM	Please give me great boldness of mind.
HA HA HA HA HOH	Please 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	Llet me depart not from your nature of Vajra.
MAHA SAMAYASATVA	Llet me abide in the great Samaya of Vajrasattva.
AH HUM PHAT	Please 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.
