How can we purify negative Karma?

Purification is very important s it prevents future suffering and relieves guilt. By purifying our Minds, we are able to be more peaceful and understand the Dharma better. The four opponent powers used to purify negative imprints or seed are:

1. Regret
2. Determination Not to Repeat the Action
3. Taking the Threefold Refuge and Generating Compassion towards Others
4. Actual Remedial Practice (Positive actions including Meditation and Chanting)

The four opponent powers must be done repeatedly. As we have done many negative actions, we cannot expect to counteract all of them at once. The stronger the four opponents powers are, the firmer our determination not to repeat the action and the more powerful the purification will be.
