Samye Institute is delighted to invite you to Phakchok Rinpoche’s upcoming teaching event, Chokgyur Dechen Zhikpo Lingpa: The Great Tertön’s Life and Legacy!
The Great Tertön, Chokgyur Dechen Zhikpo Lingpa, was born in Sangyal, at the base of the sacred mountain Namkha Dzö (Sky Treasury) in the province of Nangchen. His birth occurred auspiciously on the tenth day of the sixth month of the Earth Ox Year (August 10, 1829), the same day and month that the Mahaguru had taken miraculous birth from a lotus flower, many centuries before. Recognized as one of Tibet’s foremost tertöns or treasure revealers, Chokgyur Lingpa worked tirelessly alongside Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo (1813–1899) and Jamgön Kongtrūl Lodrö Thayé (1820–1892) to uphold and spread the profound teachings of Mahaguru Padmasambhava and the great wisdom dakini Yeshé Tsogyal. Chokgyur Lingpa’s treasure revelations are replete with profound teachings meant for our times. They are renowned for including many practices that are concise, easy to apply, and full of blessings.
The Great Tertön was particularly famed for being entrusted as a lineage holder of the full range of Dharma: the seven transmissions—namely the oral lineage, earth treasures, rediscovered treasures, mind treasures, oral instructions, visionary revelations, and recollections from past lives.
The seven transmissions have since been used as a framework for Chokgyur Lingpa’s spiritual legacy—the Chokling Tersar—and as a presentation of the Great Tertön’s life-story. Each transmission represents seminal moments in the life of Chokgyur Lingpa, and is intimately connected with the sacred landscape of Tibet. Through his revelation, we come to know the spiritual landscape of Tibet; through the landscape, we come to know the Great Tertön.
On February 25, 2023, Phakchok Rinpoche will present the fruition of a years-long project documenting the Great Tertön’s revelatory journey so that we can connect with the depths of this profound legacy and lineage.
