Guru Agrahi Nama! -- Homage to the Supreme Guru!

The practice of Ladrub Thigle Gyachen,
or Utmost Secret Guru Yoga Sadhana, is drawn from the
Longchen Nyingthig cycle of teachings. These teachings were directly transmitted in the form of mind terma from Longchenpa (1308-1363), the brilliant scholar and omniscient teacher, to Jigme Lingpa (1729 -1798), the mystic visionary and master of esoteric doctrine.

Longchenpa and Jigme Lingpa stand at the very forefront of the Nyingma tradition, unexcelled in their ability to convey the Heart Essence of the Buddhas teachings. And their wisdom remains entirely accessible through a perfectly pure line of transmission that extends, unbroken, to the present-day Palyul Lineage Holders.

Ladrub Thigle Gyachen is a brief but highly condensed sadhana. As an original mind treasure from Jigme Lingpa, each line of its root text is rich in the language of the most exalted view, Dzogpa Chenpo, the Great Perfection. Through this practice one receives the direct blessings of Longchenpa, and this becomes the means for actualizing in ones mindstream the primordially pure view of Dzogchen.

The Ladrub Thigle Gyachen teachings are truly profound transcendent wisdom practices, among the most sacred of those within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Thus the empowerment for this practice is rarely given, and the maintenance of pure samaya as outlined
by the teacher is essential.

We rejoice in this extraordinary opportunity to receive the precious Ultimate Guru transmission from our beloved teacher, Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche.

May all beings benefit!
