The Liberation Cloth is part of the collection of tools to help the dying and deceased. This sacred item comes with the following mantras that have the power to purify negative karma at the time of death: 
  • The short Chenrezig mantra 
  • The Heart Mantra of Secret Relic 
  • The Lotus Pinnacle Amoghapasha mantra 
  • The long and short Namgyalma mantras
  • The mantra of the Sutra of Great Liberation. 
Lama Zopa Rinpoche advised, citing root texts, that covering the body with these mantras purifies negative karma, prevents rebirth in the lower realms and causes the sentient being to be reborn in the upper realms, to meet the Dharma, and to achieve enlightenment.

The cloth should be placed on the body with the mantras facing towards the body or outwards. When these Liberation Cloths are used to drape on the deceased, they can be cremated, buried with the body or re-used.  Some use the Liberation Cloth for sick people but it is mainly for the dying and dead. If it is used for the sick, one must make sure it is not slept on, and kept on top of the body. If the Liberation Cloth is larger than the body parts to be covered, it can be folded. 

Read more about the Liberation Cloth and watch this video of Lama Zopa Rinpoche explaining the benefits of each of the mantras printed on it while at Kopan Monastery in July 2022:
