Seven-Line Prayer

Hūṃ! In the north-west of the land of Oḍḍiyāna

In the heart of a lotus flower,

Endowed with the most marvellous attainments,

You are renowned as the ‘Lotus-born’,

Surrounded by many hosts of ḍākinīs

Following in your footsteps,

I pray to you: Come, inspire me with your blessing!

guru padma siddhi hūṃ
