Köncho Chidu The Köncho Chidu practice is from the Terma tradition of Tibet. Termas, or "Dharma Treasures", are teachings that have not been transmitted from teacher to pupil in a continuous succession, but have been concealed until a future propitious time. / Termas principally originate from Padmakara of Oddiyana, more commonly known as Padmasambhava, who was the principal figure involved in the establishment of Buddhism within Tibet in the eighth century. / The discoverers of these teachings are known as "Tertöns" (Treasure-Discoverers) and may obtain them from the ground, from rock, from lakes and rivers, from space, and from their own mind. They are usually written, when physically discovered, written in a symbolic "Dakini script", sometimes only of a few words or a single syllable. The Tertön then meditates on this, in order to have the concealed teaching revealed to his mind. / This Köncho Chidu practice, is a guru yoga practice of Padmakara himself. It was discovered by Rigdzin Jatson Nyingpo. He was also known as Letro Lingpa. Born in 1585, he was ordained while a young boy, and somewhat unusually for Tertöns, remained a monk throughout his life. While still in his teens, he was walled into a solitary retreat, where he remained for seventeen years. During that time, he received revelations of where termas were concealed. Following the conclusion of his retreat, he discovered his first terma at the age of thirty-five. This itself contained a list, written by Yeshe Tsogyal (the consort of Padmakara who was the scribe and concealer of many of his termas) which gave the locations of other termas. / The Köncho-Chidu teachings were discovered secretly in an area named Draklung, while most of the other termas that Jatson Nyingpo discovered, were brought out in front of gathered crowds. / When a local governor posted guards to prevent his taking a certain terma out of its location, Jatson Nyingpo rode a horse directly down the side of a cliff in order to reach the terma. / His main disciple was named Gampo Norbu Gyenpa, but his pupils included the tenth Karmapa (Choying Dorje 1604-1674), the sixth Shamarpa (Chökyi Wangchuk 1584-1630), the fifth Gyaltsap Rinpoche (Drakpa Choyang 1618-1658), the heads of the Drikung and Drukpa Kagyu schools, of the Dorje Drak Nyingma school and many other great masters. / He founded Bangri Jokpo monastery where he passed away at the age of seventy-one in 1656. / The collection of his termas form six volumes, known as the "Jatson Podruk" (The Six Jatson Volumes). One of these volumes is the collection of Köncho-Chidu practices. The others volumes are Bardo, Avalokiteshvara, Hayagriva, Long-life practice, and the Dharma-protector "Maning". / The Köncho-Chidu volume, while having an eight chapter structure, is made up of thirty-five short texts, such as peaceful Guru practice, Guru Drakpo, Singhamukha, an account of the life of Padmakara, etc. / To practice the Köncho Chidu, these short texts were combined in various permutations with ancillary additions. The principal sadhana to be compiled from this source is that by Jamgön Kongtrül 1st (1813-1899). / Jamgön Kongtrül, the great nineteenth century non-sectarian master, composed collections of teachings known as the five or six "Treasures". One of these is the Rinchen Terdzö ("A precious Treasury of Termas"), originally in sixty large volumes. One of these volumes contains a collection of Köncho-Chidu texts, which are also available compiled as a single volume. There are for example, a Köncho-Chidu preliminary text, a sadhana, and also an instruction text: "The Illumination of the Necessary Meaning", all composed by Jamgön Kongtrül. / [Peter Roberts]

Kunkhyen Jigme Lingpa 1. (1729-1798), was an emanation of Mahapandita Vimalamitra, King Trisongdeutsen, Gyalse Lharje, and Ngari Panchen Pema Wangyal (see note below), as well as the immediate reimbodiment of Rigdzin Choje Lingpa (Chos rJe gLing pa), also known as Dagpo Rogje Lingpa (Dvags po Rog rJe gLing pa, 1682-1725) His manifestation in this world was prophesied by the great Tertöns Guru Chowang (1212-1270), Sangye Lingpa (1340-1396), Chö Ling (chos gling) and others. In childhood he had many visions of saints of the past. At the age of six he entered the monastery of Palgi Riwo, the "Glorious Mountain," and received the name Pema Khyentse Özer. At the age of thirteen he met his root guru, Rigdzin Thekchog Dorje, who gave him the quintessential maturing instructions. In later life Jigme lingpa had numerous visions of his guru. He also received instructions on the Kama and Terma traditions from many other teachers. Without arduous study he was able, due to his inner realization, to assimilate and express the whole of the Buddhist doctrine. [RY]
 
Kunkhyen Jigme Lingpa 2. At the age of twenty eight he did a three-year retreat in the hermitage of Thigle Nyakchik, the "Sole Essence," near Palri Monastery, taking as his main practice the Drolthig Shitro of Drodul Lingpa, and had many signs of accomplishment. While meditating upon Hayagriva the horse on Hayagriva's head neighed, and Guru Rinpoche appearing to him gave him the name Pema Wangchen. He then had the visions in which the spiritual treasure of the Longchen Nyingthig was revealed to him. As described on p.? he did another three-year retreat in the Flower Cave at Chimphu, above Samye. After this, following a vision and prediction of Tsele Natsog Rangdrol (1608-?), he went to Tsering Jong, not far from the tomb of King Songtsen Gampo at Chongye, and established there the hermitage of Pema Osel Thekchog Choling, where countless disciples were to come from all over Tibet and the neighboring countries. [RY]
 
Kunkhyen Jigme Lingpa 3. His chief disciples, Jigme Trinle Özer, Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu, Jigme Kundrol, Jigme Gocha and others, spread his teachings to the borders of China, Bhutan and India. By the power of his compassion and prayers, his Longchen Nyingthig was to become, and still is in our day, one of the most widely practiced teaching. His cycle of rediscovered terma teachings and is other writings are collected in nine volumes. Among these is the Yonten Rinpoche Dzo, in which is condensed the essence of the Buddhist path. At the age of seventy, having fulfilled all his aspirations to benefit beings and the doctrine, he left this world for the buddhafield of Lotus Light, amidst wondrous signs. His immediate reimbodiments were Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892), the emanation of his body; Patrul Rinpoche Orgyen Jigme Chökyi Wangpo(1808-1887), the emanation of his speech; and Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje (1800-?), the emanation of his mind. There were five main emanations of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Do Khyentse combined, out of whom Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö (1893-1959) and H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche have displayed ceaseless and all-encompassing activity for the sake of beings and the doctrine. [MR]

As the fourth Drukchen ('brug chen), the head of the northern branch of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage (byang 'brug) he founded the monastery of Char Sangnak Chöling (byar gsang sngags chos gling). He had two immediate reincarnations. The first, Gyalwa Pagsam Wangpo (rgyal ba dpag bsam dbang po, 1593-1641), occupied the throne of Sang-ngak Chöling. His incarnations were known as Drukchen Rinpoche. The second, Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal (zhabs drung ngag dbang rnam rgyal, 1594-1651) went in exile to Bhutan where he contributed greatly to the spreading of Buddhism and unified the country as a Buddhist state.

kutsap is a representation of Guru Rinpoche, in the form of a statue. Padmasambhava blessed and concealed these representations himself, with the intention that beings in the future might see them, receive blessings and make a direct connection to him. He made the aspiration that coming into contact with a kutsap would be no different than meeting Guru Rinpoche in person. Beings who make such a connection will be blessed in this life and in future lives. Taking it serves as a blessing, removes obstacles, as well as strengthens and deepens one's connection to Guru Rinpoche. [RY]

Köncho Chidu The Köncho Chidu practice is from the Terma tradition of Tibet. Termas, or "Dharma Treasures", are teachings that have not been transmitted from teacher to pupil in a continuous succession, but have been concealed until a future propitious time. / Termas principally originate from Padmakara of Oddiyana, more commonly known as Padmasambhava, who was the principal figure involved in the establishment of Buddhism within Tibet in the eighth century. / The discoverers of these teachings are known as "Tertöns" (Treasure-Discoverers) and may obtain them from the ground, from rock, from lakes and rivers, from space, and from their own mind. They are usually written, when physically discovered, written in a symbolic "Dakini script", sometimes only of a few words or a single syllable. The Tertön then meditates on this, in order to have the concealed teaching revealed to his mind. / This Köncho Chidu practice, is a guru yoga practice of Padmakara himself. It was discovered by Rigdzin Jatson Nyingpo. He was also known as Letro Lingpa. Born in 1585, he was ordained while a young boy, and somewhat unusually for Tertöns, remained a monk throughout his life. While still in his teens, he was walled into a solitary retreat, where he remained for seventeen years. During that time, he received revelations of where termas were concealed. Following the conclusion of his retreat, he discovered his first terma at the age of thirty-five. This itself contained a list, written by Yeshe Tsogyal (the consort of Padmakara who was the scribe and concealer of many of his termas) which gave the locations of other termas. / The Köncho-Chidu teachings were discovered secretly in an area named Draklung, while most of the other termas that Jatson Nyingpo discovered, were brought out in front of gathered crowds. / When a local governor posted guards to prevent his taking a certain terma out of its location, Jatson Nyingpo rode a horse directly down the side of a cliff in order to reach the terma. / His main disciple was named Gampo Norbu Gyenpa, but his pupils included the tenth Karmapa (Choying Dorje 1604-1674), the sixth Shamarpa (Chökyi Wangchuk 1584-1630), the fifth Gyaltsap Rinpoche (Drakpa Choyang 1618-1658), the heads of the Drikung and Drukpa Kagyu schools, of the Dorje Drak Nyingma school and many other great masters. / He founded Bangri Jokpo monastery where he passed away at the age of seventy-one in 1656. / The collection of his termas form six volumes, known as the "Jatson Podruk" (The Six Jatson Volumes). One of these volumes is the collection of Köncho-Chidu practices. The others volumes are Bardo, Avalokiteshvara, Hayagriva, Long-life practice, and the Dharma-protector "Maning". / The Köncho-Chidu volume, while having an eight chapter structure, is made up of thirty-five short texts, such as peaceful Guru practice, Guru Drakpo, Singhamukha, an account of the life of Padmakara, etc. / To practice the Köncho Chidu, these short texts were combined in various permutations with ancillary additions. The principal sadhana to be compiled from this source is that by Jamgön Kongtrül 1st (1813-1899). / Jamgön Kongtrül, the great nineteenth century non-sectarian master, composed collections of teachings known as the five or six "Treasures". One of these is the Rinchen Terdzö ("A precious Treasury of Termas"), originally in sixty large volumes. One of these volumes contains a collection of Köncho-Chidu texts, which are also available compiled as a single volume. There are for example, a Köncho-Chidu preliminary text, a sadhana, and also an instruction text: "The Illumination of the Necessary Meaning", all composed by Jamgön Kongtrül. / [Peter Roberts]

(1729-1798), was an emanation of Mahapandita Vimalamitra, King Trisongdeutsen, Gyalse Lharje, and Ngari Panchen Pema Wangyal (see note below), as well as the immediate reimbodiment of Rigdzin Choje Lingpa (Chos rJe gLing pa), also known as Dagpo Rogje Lingpa (Dvags po Rog rJe gLing pa, 1682-1725) His manifestation in this world was prophesied by the great Tertöns Guru Chowang (1212-1270), Sangye Lingpa (1340-1396), Chö Ling (chos gling) and others. In childhood he had many visions of saints of the past. At the age of six he entered the monastery of Palgi Riwo, the "Glorious Mountain," and received the name Pema Khyentse Özer. At the age of thirteen he met his root guru, Rigdzin Thekchog Dorje, who gave him the quintessential maturing instructions. In later life Jigme lingpa had numerous visions of his guru. He also received instructions on the Kama and Terma traditions from many other teachers. Without arduous study he was able, due to his inner realization, to assimilate and express the whole of the Buddhist doctrine. [RY]

Kunkhyen Jigme Lingpa 2. At the age of twenty eight he did a three-year retreat in the hermitage of Thigle Nyakchik, the "Sole Essence," near Palri Monastery, taking as his main practice the Drolthig Shitro of Drodul Lingpa, and had many signs of accomplishment. While meditating upon Hayagriva the horse on Hayagriva's head neighed, and Guru Rinpoche appearing to him gave him the name Pema Wangchen. He then had the visions in which the spiritual treasure of the Longchen Nyingthig was revealed to him. As described on p.? he did another three-year retreat in the Flower Cave at Chimphu, above Samye. After this, following a vision and prediction of Tsele Natsog Rangdrol (1608-?), he went to Tsering Jong, not far from the tomb of King Songtsen Gampo at Chongye, and established there the hermitage of Pema Osel Thekchog Choling, where countless disciples were to come from all over Tibet and the neighboring countries. [RY]

Kunkhyen Jigme Lingpa 3. His chief disciples, Jigme Trinle Özer, Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu, Jigme Kundrol, Jigme Gocha and others, spread his teachings to the borders of China, Bhutan and India. By the power of his compassion and prayers, his Longchen Nyingthig was to become, and still is in our day, one of the most widely practiced teaching. His cycle of rediscovered terma teachings and is other writings are collected in nine volumes. Among these is the Yonten Rinpoche Dzo, in which is condensed the essence of the Buddhist path. At the age of seventy, having fulfilled all his aspirations to benefit beings and the doctrine, he left this world for the buddhafield of Lotus Light, amidst wondrous signs. His immediate reimbodiments were Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892), the emanation of his body; Patrul Rinpoche Orgyen Jigme Chökyi Wangpo(1808-1887), the emanation of his speech; and Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje (1800-?), the emanation of his mind. There were five main emanations of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Do Khyentse combined, out of whom Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö (1893-1959) and H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche have displayed ceaseless and all-encompassing activity for the sake of beings and the doctrine. [MR]

He had two immediate reincarnations. The first, Gyalwa Pagsam Wangpo (rgyal ba dpag bsam dbang po, 1593-1641), occupied the throne of Sang-ngak Chöling. His incarnations were known as Drukchen Rinpoche. The second, Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal (zhabs drung ngag dbang rnam rgyal, 1594-1651) went in exile to Bhutan where he contributed greatly to the spreading of Buddhism and unified the country as a Buddhist state.

kutsap is a representation of Guru Rinpoche, in the form of a statue. Padmasambhava blessed and concealed these representations himself, with the intention that beings in the future might see them, receive blessings and make a direct connection to him.
