Termas by The Tertöns Series | Heruka & Vajrakilaya Collection

Why bother at all ? Because, if you never think about energetic effect of these actions, they eventually kind of pile up, like tsunami or an avalanche, and, it will kill you back during one of the lifetimes, eventually, we just never know when, because we, our consciousness, never really cease to exist. Because we exist infinitely and lack awareness about 90 % of the time, if not all 100 %, we do not realize how many actual mistakes we make or made. That’s all. It is not necessary, it is entirely up to you weither or not you feel the need to gain a better life next time. That's all. Sincerely yours Author, Ngawang Gyalten Lhamo The Drikung Kagyu lineage, which was founded by Jigten Sumgön (1143–1217), a chief disciple of Phagmo Drupa, who was himself a primary disciple of Gampopa. Jigten Sumgön is considered by his followers to be a fully enlightened buddha and a reincarnation of the Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna. Karma Chagme lineage (1613–1678), a prominent 17th-century Tibetan Buddhist lama of the Karma Kagyu school who was recognized as a reincarnate lama (tülku) and the founder of the Neydo Kagyu sub-school. He is known for his extensive writings, including works on Pure Land Buddhism and the practice of phowa (consciousness transference), and was a teacher to the tertön Namchö Mingyur Dorje. While he is not directly associated with the Vajrakilaya practice in the provided context, his teachings and lineage are significant within Tibetan Buddhism. Sangye Lingpa lineage (1340–1396), a prominent tertön, revealed the Lama Gongdü cycle and the Golden Garland Chronicles, establishing a significant foundation for later Vajrakilaya practices. His lineage continued through subsequent tertöns, including Terton Rigdzin Duddul Dorje (1615–1672), who played a critical role in restrengthening the Katok Monastery lineage. The lineage further passed to Dzamling Dorje Tsal (Choje Lingpa) 1682–1720/1725), a major 18th-century tertön who contributed significantly to the opening of the hidden land of Pemako. This lineage of revealed treasures eventually reached Chokgyur Lingpa (1829–1870), who is regarded as one of the major tertöns in Tibetan history and the last of the 100 major tertöns.
