Chönyi Namkha Long Dzö
The Chönyi Namkha Long Dzö (‘The Vast Space Treasury of the Nature of Reality’) is the fourth main terma cycle of Düdjom Lingpa and a daknang.
At the age of twenty-six in 1861, he revealed it while living under the care of the Gili family in the village of Dziteng, on the banks of the Mar Chu. At that time, Düdjom Lingpa had a daknang, a pure vision of the Sangyé Tongtsa Nyi, (The Thousand Buddhas of this Fortunate Aeon), each seated upon a high jewelled throne.
The Chönyi Namkha Long Dzö terma cycle includes many lama, yidam, khandro and protectors practices. According to Tsedrub Lama Tarchin, ‘Within all these texts, the most important ones are those which are related to Tröma Nakmo.’
Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
