PADMASAMBHAVA’S LIBERATING CHANT. Padmasambhava, the Lotus Born Master from the ancient Indian country of Uddiyana, is renowned to have brought the Buddhist tantras to Tibet. Padmasambhava’s depicted form is loaded with deep symbolism and seeing the form with open mind can reconfirm our basic nature of purity and equality: that we are in essence all equal and perfect. Sometimes it is said that looking into his wide-awake eyes on a authentic statue or painting can give a glimpse of the sublimely unattached awaken state of mind. It is also said that the vajra scepter in his right hand is a gesture of the unshakeable dignity that accompanies seeing the unformed nature of knowing, face to face.

When chanting Padmasambhava’s sacred invocation, it is said that at first dualistic mind needs to approach the awakened state with the graceful bow of inner surrender, singing from the core of ones heart and the sole of ones feet. Seven Line Prayer belongs to the path of surrendering into the vastness of sound and devotion.
