Lama Lodu Rinpoche teaches the "Shower of Blessings" practice of Guru Padmasambhava

On Sept. 25th, 2021, Lama Lodu Rinpoche gave teachings on this practice . The "Shower of Blessings" is Guru Rinpoche's practice, composed by the 19th century great scholar and accomplished yogi, Mipham Rinpoche. This practice starts with 1) refuge and generating Bodhicitta, then 2) followed by visualizing Guru Rinpoche with consort, then 3) the Seven Branch Prayer, 4) followed by a devotional prayer to Guru Rinpoche, 5) followed by the Seven Line Prayer which is repeated as much as one can. With this visualization, 6) you then recite the mantra as much as you can. 7) Afterwards, there is an empowerment and merging the guru's mind with one's own mind in one. 8) Then, there is re-awakening from the post-meditation session and everything appears as the guru's manifestation, and finally 9) dedication prayer composed by Guru Rinpoche himself, discovered by the great treasure master Chokling Rinpoche.
