Practicing the seven branches helps to reduce the five disturbing emotions and to accumulate good merit without any hardship. All obstacles for developing the altruistic mind are removed.
The seven branches are:
1. prostration, the antidote to pride
2. offering, the antidote to avarice
3. confession, the antidote to aggression[1]
4. rejoicing, the antidote to jealousy
5. requesting to turn the wheel of Dharma, the antidote to ignorance
6. requesting not to pass into parinirvana, the antidote to wrong views[2]
7. dedication of merit, the antidote to doubts
At the end of the teachings we will offer the khata (Tibetan white skarf) to Rinpoche as a sign of our gratitude for receiving those precious teachings.
