Vajrasattva is the principal deity used in the preliminary practices of Tibetan Buddhism to purify negative karma, illness, and spiritual obscurations. He is often regarded as the embodiment of the purity of all the Buddhas and serves as the head of the Vajra family. In his practice, the visualization of nectar descending from his heart is used to cleanse the practitioner's body, speech, and mind. By engaging with his hundred-syllable mantra, devotees seek to restore their vows and align themselves with the clear-light nature of reality, making him a central figure for anyone pursuing the path of Vajrayana.
