Synopsis:
Sale edition.This work discusses central themes in the history and practice of terma, or treasure revelation, in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism and presents translations of seminal texts of the tradition. It includes a discussion by the renowned master Ju Mipham of the criteria by which to evaluate the authenticity of those who claim to have discovered such hidden Buddhist scriptures.
In particular, this book presents the first thorough survey of the revelations of the great visionary master Chokgyur Lingpa (1829-1870). Particular emphasis is placed on his revelations pertaining to the wrathful deity Vajrakilaya. Translations of selected texts are presented together with a detailed commentary on their practice composed by Khenpo Rinchen Namgyal, one of Chokgyur Lingpa's foremost students.
The treasure tradition of the Nyingma school is richly permeated with wonder and controversy. This unique, mysterious tradition embraces revelation as the primary path to spiritual awakening. Over the course of Tibetan history, revelations - known as termas - have been discovered hidden in nature or have emerged directly from the great minds of the Nyingma school, creating a profound and lasting effect on Tibetan religious society and culture. |
