One of the most important sadhana cycles in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, the Rigdzin Düpa, or Gathering of the Vidyadharas, is practiced by tens of thousands of practitioners around the world. This inner guru practice focuses on Padmasambhava as the central figure and is one of the three root sadhanas of the Longchen Nyingtik treasure cycle revealed by the great Jigme Lingpa. This book will help readers mature their practice with invaluable instructions and commentary from some of the greatest Tibetan masters to have ever lived, including Patrul Rinpoche, Jamgön Kongtrul Lödro Tayé, and more.

This book is for those who have received the reading transmission for the Rigdzin Düpa. Until such time as you receive the transmission, you can keep it on your shrine.

KHANGSAR TENPA’I WANGCHUK (1938–2014) was born in Golok, Tibet. He began his Buddhist study at eight years old, became a monk at fourteen, and began teaching at fifteen. A Nyingma practitioner, Khangsar Khenpo was both a tertön, or treasure revealer, and a scholar of the rigorous scholastic curriculum of the Geluk tradition. During the later years of the Cultural Revolution, he was sentenced to twelve years in prison where he continued his dedicated practice alongside other great masters, from whom he received pith instructions and transmissions. In the later part of his life, he focused on teaching, writing commentaries on seminal texts, and restoring and enlarging monasteries in his home villages of Khangsar Taklung and Panak in the region of Golok. DESHEK LINGPA (1956–2020), also known as Tulku Lhatsam and Tertön Padma Jigme Dorje, was a treasure revealer, or tertön, of the Nyingma school and served as the abbot of both Dogongma and Dogabma Monasteries in Golok, Tibet. The PADMAKARA TRANSLATION GROUP, based in France, has a distinguished reputation for its translations of Tibetan texts and teachings. Its work has been published in several languages and is renowned for its clear and accurate literary style.
