Guru Yoga

Khenpo Sodargye taught about the merits and benefits of Guru Padmasambhava's heart mantra. He emphasized that practitioners of both Sutrayana and Vajrayana should devotedly pray to Guru Rinpoche, as regularly reciting the Guru's heart mantra can dispel obstacles and hindrances while obtaining blessings and protection. In this degenerate age, praying to Guru Rinpoche is like a safety belt for spiritual practice, capable of eliminating disasters and demonic obstacles, ensuring perfect and smooth cultivation. He recommends daily recitation of at least the Seven-Line Prayer and one hundred repetitions of the heart mantra.
