You are the very essence of the unfailing Three Jewels,

The supreme embodiment of infinite three-kāya buddhas,

Dharma-king of the three realms and master of the Great Perfection—

Dudjom Lingpa, at your feet I pray!

We present the following texts by the great tertön Dudjom Lingpa (bdud 'joms gling pa, 1835–1904):

Biography

This seven-chapter biography is a late example of the Kathang (bka' thang) genre, a versified chronicle of Padmasambhava's life as recounted to Emperor Trisong Detsen and his subjects. The text is unusually detailed in its description of Padmasambhava's personal practice, listing dozens of places where he meditated, how long he stayed, which practices he performed, which results he gained, and so on. It concludes with a chapter that includes prophecies and practical advice for the people of Tibet.

Offering

The single verse to be recited when offering bowls of water was spoken by the ḍākinī Sukhāsiddhī to the treasure-revealer Dudjom Lingpa during a dream.
