Vajra Sound of Peace: Practicing the Seven Chapter Prayer of Guru Padmasambhava

Vajra Sound of Peace:
Practicing the Seven Chapter Prayer of Guru Padmasambhavaby  Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche
and  Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche

The Seven Chapter Prayer unites devotion, bodhichitta, and Dzogchen meditation in the form of a Guru Yoga practice on Guru Rinpoche. As the great master Karma Chagme said, absolute Guru Padmasambhava is the innate nature of mind, and the innate nature of the mind is the innate nature of everything. In order to fully realize this, we need to increase our devotion, joy, and bodhichitta. Then we visualize and supplicate Guru Padmasambhava with practices like the Seven Chapter Prayer, and we complete everything by resting in Dzogchen meditation and then dedicating the merit for our families, friends, and all living beings. This is the way to achieve enlightenment. It is how we can increase our inner beauty and let it shine to the world.
