The Collection of Seven Treasures – Tukdrup Terkha DünDü
the Blessings of the Nyingma Lineage

Tukdrub Terkha Dündü The Collected Seven Treasures Guru Sadhana is an elaborate Guru Yoga practice revealed and compiled by Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje at the request of Yeshe Tsogyal, drawn from the mind-treasures of seven great tertöns revealed at distant times by::

✨ The Gathering of Secrets, Sangwa Düpa– Guru Chöwang

✨ The Gathering of the Eight Commands, Kagye Düpa– Dorje Lingpa

✨ The Gathering of the Innermost Essence, Yang Nying Düpa – Ratna Lingpa

✨ The Gem Ocean, Norbu Gyatso– Padma Lingpa

✨ The Gathering of the Victorious Ones, Gyalwa Düpa – Zhigpo Lingpa

✨ The Complete Gathering of Enlightened Intent, Gongpa Yong Dü– Rigdzin Düddul Dorje

✨ The Complete Gathering of the Sugatas, Deshek Yong Dü– revealed by Dudjom Rinpoche himself

Unified into a single stream of practice, this cycle is revered as the most supreme among Lama Accomplishment (Ladrup) teachings — a complete path that offers the rare opportunity to realize awakening in one lifetime.

✨ Special Occasion ✨

We are honored to share that Tulku Thadral Rinpoche will bestow the oral reading transmission (lung) for this precious cycle on Wednesday, July 23rd at 5:00 pm during our Monthly Ngondro Teaching.

Following the transmission, Rinpoche will continue the teachings from Longchenpa’s Four-Themed Precious Garland Part 4.

 

About Longchenpa’s Four-Themed Precious Garland
Originally based on the Four Dharmas of Gampopa—a concise set of pith instructions mapping the entire Buddhist path—Longchen Rabjam (Longchenpa) expands them into a luminous teaching called the Four-Themed Precious Garland (Chö Zhi Rinchen Trengwa).

Each theme is a step in transforming the practitioner’s mind from ordinary confusion to the realization of primordial wisdom:

Turning the Mind to the Dharma Recognizing the futility of samsara and giving rise to authentic renunciation. Turning the Mind to the Dharma, Practicing the Dharma as the Path, Removing Confusion While on the Path, and Purifying Confusion into Pristine Awareness in the natural state—allowing all phenomena to reveal themselves as expressions of intrinsic awareness.

In this precious text, Longchenpa not only transmits the profound view of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen), but he gently guides us through every stage with warmth, clarity, and directness.
