Dudjom Rinpoche

“At all times, do not lose courage in your inner awareness; uplift yourself, while assuming a humble position in your outer demeanor. Follow the example of the life and complete liberation of previous accomplished masters (siddha). Do not blame your past karma; instead, be someone who purely and flawlessly practices the dharma. Do not blame temporary negative circumstances; instead, be someone who remains steadfast in the face of whatever circumstances may arise.”

Bodhichitta

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

To have the wish first to achieve liberation for oneself and then to benefit all parent sentient beings is the bodhichitta that is like a king. To strive diligently to bring oneself and all parent sentient beings to the state of liberation together, like bringing all the passengers on a ship along with oneself together across the sea, is the bodhichitta that is like a sea captain. To cherish others more than oneself, wishing first to liberate all beings from the suffering of cyclic existence, and then to attain the state of liberation oneself, like a shepherd who protects animals such as cattle and sheep from the fear of wild predators by taking care of the needs of the herd before considering himself, is the unsurpassed bodhichitta that is like a shepherd.

His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (1904–1987)

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche was one of the most influential masters of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism in the 20th century. Born in 1904 in the hidden land of Pemakö, southeastern Tibet, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the great tertön Dudjom Lingpa and came from a noble lineage with deep spiritual roots. A prolific scholar, meditator, and revealed-treasure revealer, he preserved and transmitted the complete teachings of the Nyingma tradition during a time of crisis, compiling extensive writings on history, Dharma, and practice. After the Tibetan exodus, he was appointed the first Supreme Head of the Nyingma lineage, helping safeguard its teachings and culture in exile. His life was marked by deep realization, compassion, and unwavering dedication to benefiting beings. 

Tulku Thadral Rinpoche has asked Pema Osel Ling to host a three-day (Jan 6-8) Troma Dechö Retreat to honor the parinirvanas of two great masters of the Dudjom Tersar lineage:
