Empowered by Padmasambhava, omniscient in past, present and future,

As master over the profound treasures, universal king of Dharma,

The reincarnation of Sangyé Lingpa, you who follow a hidden way,

Kunzang Shyenpen, at your feet I pray!

Texts by the First Dodrupchen, Jigme Trinle Özer (rdo grub ’jigs med phrin las 'od zer, 1745–1821), who was also known as Kunzang Shenpen (kun bzang gzhan phan):

Aspiration Prayers

Jigme Trinlé Özer made this series of altruistic aspirations as he was approaching the moment of death.

Dharma Protectors

A brief text for making offerings to the dharma protectors, especially Ekajaṭī, Gönpo Maning, Vajrasādhu (alias Dorje Lekpa), Rāhula, Durtrö Lhamo (Goddess of the Charnel Ground), Tseringma and the sisters of long-life and Dorje Yudrönma (Goddess of the Turquoise Lamp).

Fulfilment

A practice of confession and fulfilment (bskang bshags) for the Great Compassionate One, Natural Liberation of Suffering (Dukngal Rangdrol) within the Longchen Nyingtik cycle.

Guru Rinpoche Prayers

This four-line prayer is among the most popular of prayers to Guru Padmasambhava. In the colophon Jigme Trinle Özer records that it was spoken by the Guru himself during a visionary encounter.

Lineage Prayers

A prayer to the eight great vidyādharas of India who were entrusted with the Kagyé teachings.

A five-verse prayer to the ḍākinīs of the three kāyas and the root and lineage masters.

A prayer to the lineage of Yumka Dechen Gyalmo (yum ka bde chen rgyal mo), or The Queen of Great Bliss, the peaceful ḍākinī sādhana from the Longchen Nyingtik cycle.

Ngöndro

The root text of the outer and inner preliminary (ngöndro) practices from the Longchen Nyingtik, compiled by the First Dodrupchen, Jigme Trinle Özer, based on the original revelation of Jigme Lingpa and other sources.

Practices

This 'guidance' or nedren (gnas 'dren) practice is intended to help guide the deceased to enlightenment by purifying the various realms of saṃsāra and granting empowerment. It belongs to the Natural Liberation of Suffering (sdug bsngal rang grol) set of Avalokiteśvara practices, which, in turn, are part of the Longchen Nyingtik revelation.

This text contains all the recitations required for the practice of tsethar, freeing animals or ransoming their lives; it includes the aspiration that they may be freed from sickness, harmful influences and fears, and ultimately attain perfect liberation and omniscience.

Prayers

This prayer to the chain of successive emanations (skye phreng gsol 'debs) of the First Dodrupchen was written by the master himself and includes a verse that famously prophesies his subsequent incarnation as Jigme Puntsok Jungné (1824–1863).

Sādhanas

A detailed description of the deities in the retinue of the Great Compassion One (Mahākaruṇika) according to the practice of Dukngal Rangdrol.

This short daily practice of the peaceful and wrathful deities (zhi khro) takes the famous treasure revelations of the tertön Karma Lingpa (b. 14th C.) as its basis and is widely used within the Longchen Nyingtik tradition.

Tsok

The gaṇacakra feast offering text to accompany the practice of Dukngal Rangdrol (Natural Liberation of Suffering) from the Longchen Nyingtik.
