The commentary translated in these pages is unusual and rare. But if the
commentary is a rarity, its subject matter ~ the seven-line invocation of
Padmasambhava ~ is one of the best-known prayers in the Tibetan Buddhist
world.
The overall significance of the Seven-Line Prayer is perhaps best
appreciated in relation to the guru-yoga practice or "union with the nature of
the guru." The purpose of guru-yoga is to purify and deepen the studen'ts
relationship with his or her teacher.
The cultivation of devotion to the guru and the blending of one's mind with
his or her enlightened mind is, in the words of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, "the
most vital and necessary of all practices and is in itself the surest and
fastest way to reach the goal of enlightenment."
