The second of the Preliminary Practices, Diamond Mind, purifies all bad karma, especially negative impression having to do with speech and mind. With the purifying power of Diamond Mind you can get rid of a lot of negative mental baggage.
In order to work with mind more profoundly and thus achieve lasting results from your meditative practices it is a prerequisite that mind is free from bad impressions. With the blessing of Diamond Mind – and the repetition of his mantra – you build a solid foundation for further practice.
Even though all of us – according to the Buddha’s highest teachings – already are Buddhas it is necessary to travel along the path and practice. Meditation on Diamond Mind gives boundless possibilities for personal growth.
