Synopsis:
The Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism is rich in the tradition of terma, or scriptures and treasures which have been concealed to be discovered later at appropriate times by realised masters.
Mystical revelations occur in virtually all the world`s religions. Among the most remarkable of these revelatory traditions is the terma tradition of Tibet. In this tradition, termas, or treasures - sacred texts or objects - are hidden by enlightened beings to be rediscovered at the appropriate time in the future by realised masters who have the necessary mystical vision and karma to find them. Sometimes the termas are hidden in such unlikely places as a lake, the sky, or even a disciples mind. These hidden teachings manifest at unpredictable times and places when sentient beings are in need of their wisdom. As such, the discovery of a terma always creates a fresh opportunity for spiritual renewal.
Included is a text written by the third Dodrup Chen Rinpoche which explains aspects and stages of the process of concealment and discovery of termas. It is a unique analysis of the transmission of wisdom represented by this type of sacred literature. |
