So Lama, Meditation deity [Yidam], you should see them as your mind and Lama and Yidam to be inseparable in nature, and seek their blessings so that all your negativities and defilements are cleansed.
So we are Dharma practitioners, as it says the three actions of body, the four actions of speech and the three of our mind. So all the negativities, negative actions that we have committed with our body, speech and mind, imagine they have been cleansed.
