I bow reverently with body, speech and mind.
I present to you clouds of offerings, both those in front of me and those created mentally.
I confess all the negative actions done since time without beginning.
Reverently I prostrate myself with my body, word and mind,
And I present clouds of each type of offer, both those actually offered and those mentally transformed,
I confess all my accumulated negative actions from time without beginning,
And I rejoice in the virtues of all holy and ordinary beings,
Please stay with us until the end of samsara,
And the wheel of the Dharma turns for the benefit of beings,
I dedicate all my merits and those of others for the Great Enlightenment …
The Prayer of the seven branches is a fundamental practice in Tibetan Buddhism, since it includes the seven main intentions: refuge, bodhichitta, confession, rejoicing, invitation to the Buddhas not to leave this plane and to preach the Dharma, and dedication of merit. This prayer is recited daily:
“I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Noble Assembly
and I engender the pure aspiration to benefit all beings.
I confess my faults and commitments violated,
and I delight in the virtue of saints and ordinary beings.
I implore the Buddhas that remain among us
manifesting the fullness of the Dharma,
and I dedicate all merit to universal enlightenment. “

This can be done in an elaborate or simple way. We often offer seven bowls of water. These can represent the seven parts of this practice of the seven branches. On another level we have what are called external offerings, which are offerings of water, flowers, incense, etc.
