Essential Prayers
Related to the the Guru Yoga Practice
According to the Seven Line Prayer

This prayer book was produced at Ngayab Pema Od Ling, Yangleshod, Nepal and distributed on the occasion of a drupchen held at Kurjey Lhakhang, Bumthang, Bhutan 3 – 8 August 2011. This drupchen was held to fulfill the wishes of the late Kyabje Penor Rinpoche to benefit all sentient beings. The purpose is to pacify hunger, drought, famine, disease, warfare and the four elements in the world and to bring joy and happiness everywhere, especially to Bhutan and its people. In short, the goal is to release all sentient beings from the suffering of samsara and bring them to the peace and happiness of nirvana. During this time, there were one thousand people each day, including khenpos, tulkus, monks, nuns and lay people, reciting 100 million Guru Mantras. At the completion of the Dungdrup 100,000 tsogs and 100,000 butter lamp offerings were made.
