Miraculous
Birth of Padmasambhava.
In the
north-western part of the land of Oddiyana, on an island in the lake of
Dhanakosha, the blessings of all the buddhas took shape in the form of a
multi-coloured lotus flower. Moved by compassion at the suffering of sentient
beings, the Buddha Amitabha sent out from his heart a golden vajra, marked with
the syllable HRIH, which descended onto the lotus blossom. It transformed into
an exquisitely beautiful eight year old child, endowed with all the major and
minor marks of perfection, and holding a vajra and a lotus. At that moment all
the buddhas of the ten directions, together with hundreds of thousands of
dakinis from different celestial realms, invoked the blessings and the
incarnation of all the buddhas for the benefit of beings and the flourishing of
the secret mantra teachings.
Their invocation is known as ‘The Seven Verses of
the Vajra’, or ‘The Seven Line Prayer’.
