Six Ways to Purify Negative Karma
Buddha's teachings on the path to enlightenment speak of six methods that we can use to purify negative karma:
1. Reading the sutra texts (for example, the Diamond Cutter or the Perfection of Wisdom)
2. Meditating on emptiness
3. Reciting special powerful mantras
4. Making holy objects, such as the miniature Buddha images known as tsa-tsas, stupas or paintings
5. Making offerings to holy objects
6. Reciting the names of powerful buddhas, such as Vajrasattva and the thirty-five Confession buddhas
Any one, or a combination, of these six methods can be used to purify eons of negative karma. Over time, if you pursue the spiritual path, you will certainly find yourself doing all of them at some stage of your journey.
