Dudjom Lingpa
Dudjom Tersar Ngondro
His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche embodied a great power, making it possible for anyone connecting with him ~ be it through seeing, hearing, touching or becoming his student ~ to attain liberation. Dudjom Rinpoche’s activities grew while he traveled and taught spreading dharma throughout the world. By revealing multitudes of mind treasure teachings, compiling and restoring many old termas, and creating volumes of text, he repaired and expanded the Nyingma lineage which had become dangerously thin. His texts included profound sadhanas and teachings, spanning the complete path of vajrayana from beginning to end.
The Dudjom Tersar Lineage includes both Dudjom Lingpa’s and His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche’s cycles of teachings. The Dudjom Tersar Ngondro is the foundation practice for both the Dudjom Tersar Lineage and the entire vajrayana Buddhist path.
A Commentary on the Dudjom Tersar Ngondro: The Preliminary Practice of the New Treasure of Dudjom
by Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
Guru Yoga
According to the Vajrayana view, guru yoga is the quintessential practice for attaining liberation. All Buddhas became enlightened by following their teacher’s precious instructions. So the guru is considered even more important than the Buddha because without out the guru there is no way to achieve Buddhahood. When the guru’s instructions have penetrated the student’s heart, this is the same as finding a precious wish-fulfilling jewel in your hand. Someone who has received the guru’s mind transmission has no choice but to attain enlightenment, just as someone falling down a steep mountain totally out of control has no choice but to fall all the way to the bottom. ” ~ Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
