Person description or short bio

Dudjom Lingpa (bdud 'joms gling pa) was born in 1835 in the Serta Valley (gser thal) of Golok (mgo log). He belonged to the Achak Dru (a lcags 'gru, or just lcags 'gru) lineage of the Nub clan (gnubs) of the Chakong (lcags khung) tribe and was said to be a reincarnation of Nuden Dorje (nus ldan rdo rje, b.1655), and the Imperial era figure Khyeuchung Lotsāwa (khye'u chung lo tsA ba).

Throughout his life Dudjom Lingpa reported having direct visionary encounters with numerous deities such as Vajravārahī, Avalokiteśvara, Vajrapāṇi, and Mañjuśrī, Saraha and Longchenpa Drime Oser (klong chen pa 'dri med 'od zer, 1308-1364) through which he received teachings and empowerments. Also via visionary experience Dudjom Lingpa claimed to have journeyed to the pure land of the Copper-Colored Mountain and receive teachings directly from Padmasambhava.

At age twenty-five Dudjom Lingpa revealed the prophetic guide (kha byang) from among rocks in the Mar Valley. This contained instructions on how he should reveal his own hidden treasures. He revealed twenty volumes of earth and mind treasures (sa gter, dgongs gter). These came to be known as the Dudjom Tersar (bdud 'joms gter gsar), the New Treasures of Dudjom.

Among his better known treasures are the Troma Nakmo (khros ma nag mo) and the Naluk Rangjung (gnas lugs rang byung), which is a systematic presentation of the Dzogchen path.

The Nyingma, which is often described as the oldest tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, traces its origin to Padmasambhava, who is said to have visited Tibet in the eighth century.

Refers to something that is taught for a specific reason, rather than because it is entirely true.

Along with Madhyamaka, it was one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Asaṅga and Vasubandhu around the fourth century CE, many of its central tenets have roots in the Saṃdhinirmocanasūtra and the so-called third turning of the dharma wheel (see tridharmacakrapravartana).

Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.

The state of being devoid of that which is wholly different rather than being void of its own nature. The term is generally used to refer to the ultimate, or buddha-nature, being empty of other phenomena such as adventitious defiling emotions but not empty of its true nature.

The state of being empty of self, which references the lack of inherent existence in relative phenomena.

Tsen Khawoche's "meditative tradition" of exegesis of the Uttaratantra; it is one of two major Tibetan traditions of exegesis, both stemming from students of Sajjana.
