'''Assemblage of Sugatas''' ([[bde gshegs 'dus pa]]). 'Deshek Düpa.' Important cycle of teachings connected to the [[Sadhana Section of Mahayoga]]. The tantras belonging to this cycle are found in Vol. OM of the [[Nyingma Gyubum]] as well as in the revelations of [[Nyang Ral Nyima Oser]]. These teachings were transmitted by [[Samantabhadra]], manifest in the form of the peaceful [[Vajrasattva]] and wrathful [[Chemchok Heruka]]. The [[Lord of Secrets]] compiled and entrusted them to the dakini [[Leykyi Wangmo]]. She concealed these tantras in the stupa [[Enchanting Mound]] ([[bde byed brtsegs pa]]), [[Shangkara Kuta]], and later transmitted them to the [[Eight Vidyadharas]], one teaching to each master: [[Manjushri Body]] to [[Manjushrimitra]], [[Lotus Speech]] to [[Nagarjuna]], [[Vishuddha Mind]] to [[Hungkara]], [[Nectar Quality]] to [[Vimalamitra]], [[Kilaya Activity]] to [[Prabhahasti]], [[Liberating Sorcery of Mother Deities]] to [[Dhana Sanskrita]], [[Maledictory Fierce Mantra]] to [[Shintam Garbha]], and [[Mundane Worship]] to [[Guhyachandra]]. Each of these vidyadharas later transmitted their teachings to [[Padmasambhava]] who then became the main holder of all.
'''Eight Sadhana Teachings''' ([[sgrub pa bka' brgyad]]).
