Lama Zopa Rinpoche has composed this short Vajrasattva practice and requested that it be published in a pocket-sized format. Thus, we can be like the great Atisha - whenever we notice we have broken a vow or created any other kind of negative karma, we can whip out our little Vajrasattva book and purify that negativity with the four opponent powers without a second’s delay.
