This recently revealed terma cycle on the Luminous Heart Essence of the Great Perfection, the Ösel Dzogpa Chenpo Nyingtig, is the very enlightened intent of the Buddhas of the three times. This treasure carries incredible blessings for swiftly traversing the path to enlightenment. This extraordinary cycle connects us not only with the luminous presence of Guru Rinpoche, but also with Yeshe Tsogyal. We are offering the Ösel Nyingtig as a multi-year program for dedicated practitioners who desire a profound and direct path to realization based on the three-fold secret of the Great Mother.
This revelation manifested ‘due to the necessities of these times’ and there are many extraordinary predictions contained within these termas that foretell of fortunate disciples who will reach realization through the Ösel Nyingtig. It has been a closely guarded practice by those who initially received it in 2002. However, now that the seal of secrecy has been lifted we are excited to share with the sangha these teachings that have been so dear to our hearts.
With unwavering devotion to A.dzom Rinpoche, in the summer of 2020, Lama Tsultrim Allione and her son Dorje Gyaltsab Tulku Ösel Dorje started to teach the profound dharma treasures of the Ösel Nyingtig. Each year, those who have committed to the Ösel Nyingtig cycle receive further teachings and practices from it. Throughout the year there are Zoom calls with the teachers as well as monthly group practices with senior practitioners, and webcasts with the tertön himself when possible.
The Osel Nyingtig Path is a step-by-step guide into the heart of Vajrayana and Dzogchen teachings. In the midst of these dark times, this Luminous Heart Essence of the Great Perfection has appeared as a beacon of light showing the way. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this collection of teachings provides a succinct path to enlightenment. To learn more, click here.
Who is A.dzom Rinpoche?
Born in 1971 near Chamdo in Eastern Tibet, A.dzom Paylo Rinpoche is a living siddha widely seen as one of the greatest Dzogchen masters in Tibet today. He is also recognized as a reincarnation of King Trisong Detson, Vimalamitra, Jigme Lingpa, and Ngari Panchen. An extraordinary prodigy from a young age, A.dzom Paylo Rinpoche began his studies at the age of five and undertook full-time retreat at eleven. At his teacher’s request, Rinpoche began teaching Dzogchen in 1984 when he was 13. A.dzom Rinpoche is famous for his one-on-one Dzogchen instruction and his powerful energetic transmissions. Today he teaches regularly at his monastery and throughout Tibet and China on texts and practices from the major liturgical traditions within the Nyingma lineage, especially The Essence of the Vast Expanse (Longchen Nyingtig). He taught for many years at Tara Mandara where he made many prophecies, performed miracles and where he first revealed the Tröma from the extraordinary Ösel Nyingtig.
History of the Ösel Nyingtig
In the winter of 2002, during the Khandro Khegyang Chöd retreat in the original canvas yurt gompa at Tara Mandala before there were any buildings, in the midst of many auspicious signs, A.dzom Rinpoche began to reveal the Ösel Nyingtig terma cycle. The exalted Practice for Accomplishing Tröma known as Secret Primordial Wisdom was the first of several Ösel Nyingtig termas to be revealed at Tara Mandala by A.dzom Paylo Rinpoche. In the years that followed more termas on Tröma were revealed. The teachings found within the Ösel Nyingtig have been practiced in secret by those who initially received them.
In 2007 while Rinpoche was visiting Yeshe Tsogyal’s birthplace, Tsogyal Lhatso in Central Tibet, at that time Yeshe Tsogyal actually revealed herself to Rinpoche. The texts that center around Yeshe Tsogyal were later decoded when A.dzom Rinpoche was at Tara Mandala in 2007 at the behest of Lama Tsultrim Allione, and were transcribed with the help of Tulku Ösel Dorje.
After eighteen years of secrecy, A.dzom Rinpoche has requested Lama Tsultrim Allione and her son Tulku Ösel Dorje to begin to transmit the teachings that he revealed at Tara Mandala.
