Diamond Mind (Tibetan: Dorje Sempa, Sanskrit: Vajrasattva): The buddha representing the purifying power of all buddhas. He is in the Joy State, white in color, and depicted sitting in either full meditation or the activity posture. His right hand holds a dorje to his heart and left hand holds a bell at his hip.
-- Quoted from 'The Way Things Are' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Blog Author's comment.
Meditation on Diamond Mind is second part of the Four Foundational Practices (Ngöndro) that prepares for Great Seal.
Diamond Mind Meditation purifies strongly one's Karma, working even during one's sleep. That's why one who practices it suffers from nightmares during sleep. I think it's better to suffer during sleep than when awake - that way one's life is not ruined so much from painful mental states.
