Sounds and images of the Bodhisattva of Absolution, Vajrasattva, who represents the highest state of the enlightened mind

As described by the video's producer, Euterpe Jones, this is a "[s]hort Tibetan Buddhist meditation video based on the Hundred Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva. I realize its inclusion may be objectionable to some, based on the controversy caused by Google's deal with China. I say, all the more reason why this video should be here. This video shows various Thangkas of Vajrasattva while we hear the venerable Hundred Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva. Vajrasattva grants absolution to the penitent, and a fully enlightened mind to the sincere aspirant."

This video is the mantra of Vajrasattva sung by Dechen Shak-Dagsa
