Zabzang Khandro Nyingtik
‘The Profound Doctrine of the Heart Essence of the Dakinis’, the Zabsang Khandro Nyingtik is the third of the four main termas cycles of Düdjom Lingpa, and it is his main sater, or earth terma. He revealed it in 1859 in Shadrak Dorjé Dzong, on the slopes of the mountain range of Ngala Taktsé, which is on the left bank of the Ser Chu.
The Zabsang Khandro Nyingtik cycle currently fills almost nine volumes (1 to 9) of the sungbum, the collected works of Düdjom Lingpa, and approximatively 4,830 pages. Among its practices are the Ngöndrö Dampa Tarpé Shingta, the Lama Shyiwa Rigdzin Düpa, the Tamdrin Yangtrö Nagpo, the Vajrakilaya Zabsang Deshek Nyingpo and the Vajrakilaya Tukdrub Sangwé Gyachen. The main chödaks of this cycle are his chödaks Hor Puntsok Tashi and Gili Ngawang Gyatso.
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.
