Hidden Teachings of Tibet: An Explanation of the Terma Tradition of the Nyingma School of Buddhism

0/5 ( ratings)

There have been many occasions in world history when scriptures and material objects have been discovered miraculously. The Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism is rich in such a tradition. Dharma Treasures, Terma, have been concealed and later discovered at appropriate times by realized masters. These have over the centuries found thousands of volumes of scriptures and sacred objects hidden in earth, water, sky, mountains, rocks and mind.

This tradition of passing on teachings of the great ninth century saint, Guru Padmasambhava, is elaborated here by a Nyingma lama. Tulku Thondup first outlines the Nyingma teachings, then translates and gives commentary on Wonder Ocean, by the third Dodrup Chen Rinpoche, a text that clearly explains the entire Terma tradition. This is the first book of its kind published in the West.
