Daknang Yéshé Drawa
The Wisdom Net of Pure Visions', the Daknang Yeshe Drawa, is the second of the four main terma cycles of Düdjom Lingpa. He revealed it in 1858 during a daknang, a pure vision, he had of Manjushri. This cycle contains many texts: the Ngöndrö Ngakdön Shintu Düpa; practices related to Tröma Nakmo; to protectors such as Nöjin Shenpa Marnak, Mahakala, Lhachen Wangchuk Chenpo, and Yungdrung Chaktsé; two Dzogchen tantras, the Neluk Rangjung and the Sherig Dorjé Nönpö Gyü, which soon became central in the transmission of Dzogchen to the Düdjom Tersar lineage practitioners. Among the students of Düdjom Lingpa who acted as scribes for texts of the Daknang Yeshe Drawa are Hor Püntsok Tashi (1835?-19th), Ngawang Trinlé (1840?-1910?) and Horla Pema Tashi (1840+-19th).
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.
