Methods for keeping Samaya clean
I was looking to get a general list of methods used for keeping Samaya clean. I know there's the usual ones such as the Vajrasattva mantra and participating in tsok practices, but I was wondering if there were any others. Does a daily practice session count? Or guru yoga? All of the above?

Is any transmission or empowerment necessary to recite the long Vajrasattva mantra?

Does reciting Vajrasattva short mantra 108 times a day prevent degeneration as well?

BTW best method to repair samaya is completion stage.

If you have received Mahamudra transmission that is the most profound way, as it is the practice that will accomplish all the other practices at once.
