Introduction

Welcome to the dedicated page for the practice of 七句真言 at It Is Well Living Church. We invite you to embark on a transformative journey, exploring the power and significance of these sacred phrases and their impact on our community and society.

What are 七句真言?

七句真言, also known as the Seven-Line Prayer, is a revered and ancient Tibetan Buddhist liturgical text. It is considered a profound practice that invokes blessings, protection, and the embodiment of enlightened qualities. The practice revolves around reciting the seven powerful lines while cultivating a deep sense of devotion and connection to the divine.

The Significance of 七句真言

七句真言 holds immense significance in Buddhist traditions, particularly within the Vajrayana or Tibetan Buddhist lineage. The practice is believed to have been revealed as a terma (hidden treasure) by the great Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, who brought Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century.

The 七句真言 embodies profound wisdom and blessings, making it a powerful tool for spiritual growth, protection, and liberation. It cultivates a deep connection to enlightened beings and serves as a beacon of light, guiding practitioners on their spiritual path.
