Dorje Gotrab, also known as Vajra Armor, is a powerful healing and protective practice within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is closely associated with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), who is believed to have introduced this practice to Tibet in the 8th century. The Vajra Armor Mantra is regarded as one of the most potent methods for healing diseases, purifying negative energies, and warding off misfortune.
