It is one of those handful of books I'd want to keep on me if I had to leave home suddenly (say at the start of a 100,000 mile migration or pilgrimage...). And like the other books in this select group (Enlightened Courage: An Explanation of the Seven-Point Mind Training, Longchenpa's Advice from the Heart, Spaciousness: The Radical Dzogchen of the Vajra-Heart: Longchenpa's Treasury of the Dharmadhatu, Maya Yoga: Longchenpa's Finding Comfort and Ease in Enchantment, Vajra Speech: A Commentary on The Quintessence of Spiritual Practice, The Direct Instructions of the Great Compassionate One, Tao Te Ching: Text Only Edition ) it is fortunately a slim one.Among the quality books the Padmakara Translation Group have produced this is my favorite, a work of art - both in the wording and the presentation. My only complaint is that while the prayer is printed in Tibetan with a translation in English it is not presented with a transliteration of the Tibetan which is probably the form most English readers would chant in practice. But this is a small quibble since most readers will have access to this transliteration from other sources in material specific to their practice. For those who don't, here is a version (by translator Richard Barron):Hung or gyan yul gyi nub jang tsampad ma ge sar dhong po laya tsan chhog gi ngo drub nyeypad ma jung nay zhey su dragkhor du kha dro mang po korkhyed kyi jey su dag drub kyiyjin gyiy lab khyir sheg su solguru pad ma siddhi hungMipham's inspired 19th century text guides us through the various layers of meaning of this short prayer - from outer to inner to hidden. He does this with an abundance of quotes from the sacred texts of the Nyingma tradition interspersed with his own brief commentary. And reading this is like taking a magical journey or following a vivid dream to the moment of lucidity, as he takes us layer by layer from the literal to the most sublime. It is by no means merely a preliminary practice commentary - more like a Cliffsnotes on the essence of the enlightened experience (as the prayer itself embodies the non-intellectual core of the Dzogchen lineage transmission). And the last 28 or so pages (more than a third of the main text) is given over to explaining the Dzogchen way of viewing and practicing this prayer. As Namakhi Norbu has made abundantly clear in his writings, Guru Yoga is THE most direct way for realization - seeing the mind of oneself, one's guru and the Dharmakaya as one (see "Longchenpa's Advice from the Heart"), so really this is the only "practice" we need to rely upon.I first read this when it came out years ago but was inspired to come back again to compare it to a new 7 line prayer commentary by Thinley Norbu (Btw, I like this "White Lotus" so much more!). The beauty of Mipham's short text is that it just keeps getting better and better, and leaves us with a strong encouragement to 'just do it.' And keep it simple...1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Subtle and PowerfulBy RichardIf you are either practicing advanced Tibetan Buddhism, or if you are just a beginner who has a sincere desire to understand what this tradition is about, this small book is excellent. The teachings are very subtle, perhaps not really written for beginners, but you have to start somewhere. If you are more advanced in this tradition, you will love this book for the powerful confirmation and support it offers. The Seven Line Supplication is one of the most fundamental texts of the Nyingma School, and Lama Mipham is extremely learned and spiritually brilliant, so you can't really go wrong studying this marvelous short book.19 of 19 people found the following review helpful.One of the most extraordinary of all Buddhist books...By CustomerI've read a lot of texts over the years. This one is among the most remarkable. The 1st Mipam Rnpoche takes as his theme an explanation of the famous Seven Line Prayer to Padmasmbhava, and does so beginning with the literal, plain meaning and then proceeds to elucidate it in terms of the 9 Yanas of the Nyingma/Dzogchen system, all the up through Trekcho and Togyal in breathtakingly clear descriptive language. Finally Mipam's elucidation goes beyond the 9 Yanas, beyond Buddhism, beyond religion and philosophy to the experience itself. To really comprehend what is being said, one should read this short text aloud many times.The cover of the book is a detail from a thangka painted by the extraordinary polymathic Dzogchen master Gonpo Tseten Rinpoche, which he gave to Thinley Norbu Rinpoche. A photo of the entire painting and a biography of Gonpo Tseten Rinpoche can be found on the Rigpa Wiki site.See all 15 customer reviews...
