Seven Line Prayer 1.0.13

This initiative, centered around the multifaceted practice of spirituality and meditation, invites individuals globally to participate in the sacred Invocation of Guru Padmasambhava. This collective effort seeks to transcend cultural and religious boundaries, aiming for the ambitious goal of accumulating 21 billion prayers. Emphasizing the teachings of esteemed Vajrayana masters, this project positions itself as a hopeful response to contemporary challenges, offering a pathway towards a more positive future.

Initiated by the late Dungse Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche of the Dudjom Tersar lineage and supported by figures such as Kyabje Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche, along with other respected luminaries like Dudjom Sangye Pema Shepa Rinpoche and Namkha Drimed Rinpoche, this endeavor promotes global unity through invoking the blessings of the Lotus Born Guru.

The accompanying app creates a platform for worldwide connection among practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism, focusing on the teachings of Guru Padmasambhava. Participants engage in the Seven Line Prayer, a revered practice reinforced by historical figures such as Mipham Rinpoche, who acknowledged its profound significance in his renowned work, *White Lotus*.

The urgency for such collective spiritual practice is accentuated by current global crises—pandemics, climate change, and conflicts—which underscore the necessity for deep spiritual engagement as a means to navigate these tumultuous times. As highlighted by His Holiness Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche, the efficacy of this prayer lies in its potential to alleviate obstacles when recited with conviction; thus, this advice is particularly relevant for our shared global challenges.

Engaging in this practice means becoming part of a worldwide spiritual movement while contributing to a community focused on promoting peace, resilience, and harmony amid modern complexities. This app acts as a conduit that unites individuals across diverse backgrounds in a collective aspiration for an enlightened world.

The app features a recording of the Seven Line Prayer, recited by Terton Pema Thinley Drodul, which serves as both guidance for pronunciation and a blessing. Additionally, a unique sound blessing accompanies each count submission—users are encouraged to keep their sound on to fully engage with this transformative experience.
