Sojong, also known as "Confession and Purification," is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice that is performed on the full moon and new moon days of each month. Some benefits of the Sojong practice include:

Purifying negative actions: Sojong involves confessing and purifying negative actions and harmful behavior that one may have committed in the past, which is said to help reduce the negative effects of those actions and improve one's overall spiritual well-being.
Developing a deeper sense of ethics: The practice of Sojong is said to help one develop a deeper sense of ethics and moral responsibility, which can lead to greater inner peace and happiness.

Improving relationships: By confessing and purifying negative actions, the Sojong practice is said to help improve relationships with others, leading to greater opportunities for success.

Enhancing one's spiritual practice: The practice of Sojong is said to help deepen one's spiritual practice, leading to greater understanding of the nature of the mind and reality.
Increasing Positive Karma: By confessing and purifying negative actions, the Sojong practice is said to increase positive karma and accumulate merit.
It's important to note that the practice of Sojong should be done in conjunction with other spiritual practices such as meditation and the recitation of mantras and should not be relied upon as the only means of purifying negative actions.

In Tibetan tantric chanting the goal of the chanting is to invoke and then unite with a particular deity or being. Tantra is often understood as the web of life in which the Divine connects all beings and things—in this world and in all galaxies and universes, in manifestation and beyond. Tantra can allow us to integrate life into spirituality so that we live in peace and harmony with ourselves and those around us.
