Of all the prayers to the great and glorious
master of Oddiyana, embodiment of all Buddhas past, present, and to come, the invocation composed of seven vajra verses is supreme. — Mipham the Great (1846-1912)
There is no need to get bogged down in the
complexities of the kyerim and things like that which we don't really understand. Simply doing this practice [the Seven-Line Prayer] alone is su!cient. — H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987)
In the future during the darkest of times—
although there exists a great variety of bene"cent buddhas and deities—invoking me, Orgyen Padma Jungne, will bring the greatest bene"t — Padmasambhava
Why we are joining
together to recite 21,000,000,000 and why this invocation is so powerful: The Seven-Line Prayer, an invocation of the Indian Mahasiddha named Padmasambhava—also o#en referred to as Guru Rinpoche, "Precious Guru" and known as the Second Buddha—is not merely a prayer. It also functions as a method to awaken one's own primordial wisdom-mind according to the profound path of Ati Yoga. Although Padmasambhava is a historical "gure who's known for establishing the Dharma in the land of Tibet, removing all obstacles and training his heart disciples; it's also understood that he achieved a miraculous state beyond death through which he can spontaneously bene"t all those who address him with heartfelt devotion. The Seven- Line Prayer is universally known as the best means with which to do so.
One special revealer of Padmasambhava's hidden
treasure teachings in the 20th century, widely considered to be both his emanation and regent, was Kyabje Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche (1904- 1987). Dudjom Rinpoche's own son, heart disciple and lineage heir known as Dungse Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche, in the years prior to his Mahaparinirvana in 2018, o#en repeated this heartfelt advice to many of his disciples:
The most important activity to help
dispel imminent global obstacles to peace and harmony, as well as environmental problems, disease and instability, is to recite and accumulate the Seven-Line Prayer. At the time when Rinpoche last spoke of this in early 2018, he increased the number he felt would be able to shi# our world's destructive course from one billion recitations to twenty one billion (21,000,000,000). The implication was that the negative potentials had gained so much momentum that it would require this immense number to turn the tide. Clearly this will require a global e$ort!
Now this is not an e$ort speci"c to one sangha or one
lineage. Firstly, Dungse Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche has merged with the dharmakaya, so he can not oversee this, although he was an initial inspiration. Secondly, the only way to achieve such a vast number is through an egalitarian spirit of collaboration among monks, nuns, yogis and yoginis around the world from various sanghas, monasteries, nunneries, gars, etc. in a way never done before. And not just Nyingmapas, but from all schools, anyone who feels faith and devotion to Guru Padmasambhava. In an inspiring example of this, Kyabje Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche—an emanation of the great Terton Pema Lingpa—has fully endorsed this global accumulation, asking all those connected with him to join. He also graciously agreed to compose a short piece of writing on the bene"ts of this invocation, to help encourage everyone to join.

Already we have accumulated a great number, and
are approaching 200 million, however this is a small portion of the vast goal. So please join and spread the word, and encourage others to as well. If everyone joins in with joyful diligence it is certain that we can accomplish our goal.
Each person who joins a vast collective accumulation
like this—no matter the amount they contribute— gathers the same merit as if they had achieved the total on their own.
So let's use this time when millions of us in many
countries are forced to stay at home wisely, to progress in this accumulation for our own protection and for everyone's bene"t. And please share this website as widely as possible.

The way to accomplish oneself as Guru
Rinpoche, is all rooted in the Seven-Line Prayer — Terton Pema Garwang Chi-me Yungdrung Lingpa
If you really recite this prayer from your
heart, then there's no way that you can avoid bringing Guru Rinpoche forth and invoking him. So it's extremely powerful. And you should practice it at all times continually. . . If you really focus on the Seven-Line Prayer, then it is certain that the blessings will come. The blessings of Guru Rinpoche will spring out and be born in your mind stream. — Yangthang Tulku Rinpoche (1930–2016)
