Nang Jang
‘Purifying Appearances’, Nang Jang is a collection of the most secret instructions Düdjom Lingpa received through a series of visions of fourteen enlightened beings—including Avalokiteshvara, Ekadzati, Saraha and Longchenpa—and is counted among his five primary Dzogchen treatises. These instructions point out the view of Dzogchen, meaning Trekchö, and are of central importance in the Düdjom Tersar tradition. Based on teaching notes from instructions given by his son Tulku Drimé Özer, Déwé Dorjé composed the Kalden Gyepé Gulgyen (The Garland for the Delight of the Fortunate), an extensive commentary that remains widely studied.
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.
