Hundred-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

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.
