𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 Teaching E4 with Tulku Thadral Rinpoche
As part of the Monthly Ngondro Teachings, Tulku Thadral Rinpoche begins a new series with “The Seven Line Prayer”. This prayer was revealed as a terma by great master Guru Chöwang (1212–1270) and is considered a condensation of Guru Rinpoche’s enlightened activity. It is said to be so powerful that even hearing or reciting it invokes Guru Rinpoche’s presence.
The Importance of the Seven Line Prayer“Of all the devotional prayers used as a support for Dharma practice, the Seven-Line Prayer is the most essential, often repeated many thousands of times by practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism. This concise prayer invokes the blessings of Padmasambhava, also called Guru Rinpoche (“Precious Teacher”) and known as the Buddha of our time.” ~ Khaybje Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, SolePanacea
Lama Sonam Rinpoche has requested (but not required) that those who are wanting to start their Ngondro practice begin by accumulating 10,000 recitations of the 7 Line Prayer. This is very important because these recitations can remove obstacles to accomplishing Ngondro and are a way of making a deeper connection to Guru Rinpoche.

Four Themed Precious Garland E5 with Tulku Thadral Rinpoche
This teaching from Longchenpa is similar to the famous "Four Dharmas of Gampopa." It includes teachings on the general Buddhist, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Dzogchen approaches to practice. The Four-Themed Precious Garland: 1. Turning Your Mind to the Dharma 2. Practicing the Dharma as a Path 3. Removing Confusion While on the Path 4. Purifying Confusion into Pristine Awareness “To realize the beginningless purity and perfection of all reality as an indivisible unity of Voidness and appearance is to realize Dzogchen, the Great Completeness. The lineage of this Mahayana system of meditation traces from Shakyamuni Buddha and was taken from India to Tibet by such masters as Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra. It has been transmitted mainly through the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and its oral teachings are preserved unbroken until the present day.”
