The Profound Instruction of Tendrel Nyesel
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

The Profound Instruction of Tendrel Nyesel (Wyl. rten ‘brel nyes sel gyi gdams pa zab mo) is the long, elaborate sadhana revealed as terma by Tertön Sogyal in the year 1900. The original terma revelation consisted only of this long practice. Two other practices—a medium length one, ‘The Medium Length Practice of Tendrel Nyesel’; and a brief one, ‘The Brief Practice of Tendrel Nyesel’—were revealed later.
It begins with the record of a conversation between Guru Rinpoche and his main disciple and spiritual consort, Yeshe Tsogyal, which explains the meaning of ‘tendrel’ and introduces four methods for removing flaws in interdependence.
It also contains a Dzogchen Instruction called ‘Employing the Crucial Point’.
