INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 7-LINE PRAYER ACCUMULATION
Lama Tsering invites practitioners to unite and, with the amplified power of collective effort, jointly evoke Guru Rinpoche's immense blessings.
Our teacher's aspiration is to accumulate 100 million recitations of the prayer by the beginning of the Drubchen of The Essence of Sidi on October 12th.
The accumulation can be done outside of puja time, as long as it is in the context of a practice that contains the 7-line prayer and that the student has received permission to do, such as: Ngondro, Shower of Blessings, Essence of Continuous Yoga, Rigdzin Dupa or other.
Everyone can take part, including those who have not yet received any initiation. In this case, the practice must be done in the context of the Shower of Blessings sadhana.
See below for full details of the accumulation.
If you still have any questions, write to: acumulacao@odsalling.org
1) How do I take part?
To take part, it's simple.
Just do your accumulation at the time that works best for you, whether it's during morning puja or at another time of the day.
As always, please establish your pure motivation at the beginning and during the practice, remembering that all beings near and far are included, and try your best to concentrate on the visualization, keeping your vision pure, and dedicate all merit at the end of each session.
2) How should I do the accumulation?
This accumulation should be done in the context of any practice that contains the 7-line Prayer, such as Ngondro, Essence of Continuous Yoga, Shower of Blessings, Rigdzin Dupa or other.
It can be done during morning puja, which you can follow in person or by zoom, or at any time you can.
It's important that you maintain your concentration at the time of the practice, leaving worldly concerns behind. It's best not to talk during the session and to leave your cell phone switched off.
Counting the accumulation is the responsibility of each practitioner. Therefore, we suggest that, at the end of each session, you write down the numbers so that you can be sure of the counts.
3) Can I do more than one accumulation session a day?
Yes.
You can do one or more sessions during the day, within any practice that contains the 7-line Prayer.
4) Can I accumulate using only one practice?
Yes, you can do all the accumulations within a single practice, such as Rain of Blessings, for example.
Or you can accumulate some with one practice and then some with another.
The important thing is that the practices you choose to do to count the accumulation contain the 7-line Prayer and that you have authorization to do them.
5) If I can't take part in the morning puja, can I still take part?
Yes, you can do the practice on your own at home, or wherever you can, and at the time that works best for you.
6) I don't have empowerment, can I accumulate?
Yes.
Without empowerment, you can accumulate using the Shower of Blessings sadhana.
7) Is there a deadline for these accumulations to end?
The accumulation will take place by the beggining of Drubchen of the Essence of Sidi on October 12th.
8) How do I send my accumulations?
You can submit your accumulation by clicking here.
You can fill in the form each time you do your practice or just once, informing the sum of several days of accumulation.
