Rinchen Terdzö (rin chen gter mdzod chen mo), TBRC reference: [1]. 'The Great Treasury of Precious Termas,' a collection of the most important revealed termas of Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra, Vairotsana, Yeshe Tsogyal and their closest disciples, gathered by Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye with the help of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Chokgyur Lingpa.
Published in the 1980s in 63 volumes by His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, New Delhi, India, with the addition of several more volumes of termas and commentaries. Khakyab Dorje, the 15th Karmapa, described it is these words: "The great Treasury of Precious Termas is the quintessence of the ocean-like teachings of the sugatas (buddhas), the profound Vidyadhara Pitaka of the Early Translation School." A new edition in 70 volumes, with the addition of several volumes of H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's writings and arrangements, is presently prepared by the publishing arm of Shechen Monastery in Kathmandu/Nepal.
