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 regularly advises, 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 with the mantras face down on the body or away from it and can either be kept on the body during cremation or burial, or removed to be used again. 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.
