The Seven-Line Prayer
ཚིག་བདུན་གསོལ་འདེབས། (tshig bdun gsol 'debs)
A seven-line stanza invoking Padmasambhava as the one born in the heart of a lotus on the north-west border of Oḍḍiyāna, surrounded by ḍākinīs, and asking him to come and bless. It is the shortest and most recited supplication of the Nyingma tradition, and the basis of numerous practices.

Authorship note
A text addressed to Padmasambhava, not composed by him; tradition ascribes it to the ḍākinīs who invoked him and transmits it in many treasure cycles.
