Vajrasattva practice is very much related to purification of all negative karma which we have committed in this life and countless lives before. So this is a very powerful and useful practice.
In the past, while on the path of learning, Vajrasattva made the following aspiration: (from Rigpawiki)
In future, when I reach complete and perfect buddhahood, may those who have committed the five crimes with immediate retribution, or anyone whose samaya commitments have been impaired, be purified entirely of all their harmful actions and impairments merely by hearing my name, thinking of me, or reciting the hundred syllables, the most majestic of all the secret mantras! Until this is brought about may I remain without awakening!
And:
May I be present before all those with impairments and breakages of samaya commitments and may I purify all their obscurations!

Dharma talk: Hooking In Wealth
The ultime goal of Buddha Dharma is complete liberation from our illusions and fixations.
But along the way, Tibetan Buddhism has an extraordinary repertoire of skillful means to help smooth our journey.
In these difficult times, the practice of “Hooking in Wealth” is a powerful and essential tool. Tsewong Sitar Rinpoche will teach this simple and effective method of drawing in the universal forces of life enrichment, based on the revealed treasure of PeGyal Lingpa. Combined with the mantra of Zambhala, this practice helps our financial security, the stability of our home and career, and nourishes all aspects of our physical and emotional life.

Date/Time: SUNDAY 2nd October (6pm-9pm)
Dharma talk: Receiving and Sending
At the the very heart of Mahayana Buddhism is the method of Tong-Len, the practice of Taking and Sending.
What we take in, is the negativity, karma and suffering of other sentient beings, and we give out peace, freedom from suffering and positive qualities of all kinds. Surprisingly, instead of this being “toxic” or dangerous for the meditator, it is deeply healing. It clears vast oceans of our own negative karma and helps develop a deep sense of compassion, while freeing us from anxiety and pessimism. It is the ultimate portable practice, useful everywhere in daily life. Tsewong Rinpoche will lead us in a concise explanation and meditation practice of Tong-Len.
Dharma transmission: Long Life Blessing
Additionally, Tsewong Rinpoche will transmit the long-life blessing of Red Vajrasattva.
Location: The Bangkok Shambhala Center, Narathiwat Soi 15, Yaek 8, house #29, Bangkok, Thailand,
