Dzogchen Longchen Nyingtik Lineage Masters
In Tibet´s living wisdom tradition, every scripture, every meditation practice and methods of training the mind, is passed on from teacher to student, and then internalized until it becomes an integral part of that person´s experience. Dzogchen Longchen Nyingtik, also called The Great Perfection, is part of the Nyingmapa school, which is the oldest Tibetan Buddhism tradition. There are two kinds of transmissions. Kahma, or oral lineage, passed on from teacher to student over the centuries, and the miraculous direct lineage of terma or Spiritual Treasures. These were hidden in the eighth century by Padmasambhava and his great woman disciple Yeshe Tshogyal, to be discovered at the appropriate moment in later times.
The preliminary practices of the Longchen Nyingtik, The heart essence of the Vast Expanse is a spiritual treasure first realised by Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa (1729-1798). Jigme Lingpa passed it to Jigme Gyalwai Nyugu, since then, it has become one of the most widely learned practices in the Nyingmapa school.
