 | | Tertons are often incarnations of Guru RinpocheâÂÂs disciples. | | | The Five Terton Kings were Nyangral Nyima ×zer (1124-92), Guru Chowang (1212-70), Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405), Padma Lingpa (b.1405) and Jamyang Khyentse (1820-1892). | | | Many Tertons take the afflictions of others unto themselves, and engage in all activities as the equal and nondual nature of enlightenment. |

| | Tertons, or Treasure-Revealers, are emanations of disciples of the Indian Master Padmasambhava, known also as Guru Rinpoche. | | | The lineage of Dharma-Treasures is short and especially powerful, still warm with "Dakini's breath," the blessing of wisdom-energy, because Tertons who reveal Dharma-Treasure have a direct connection with Guru Rinpoche and his countless Dakinis, or female Buddhas, who protect and propagate his teachings. | | | Padmasambhava brought the Tantric Vajrayana teachings to Tibet in the eighth century and transmitted them to thousands of people. |

| | In addition to writing a number of important scriptures (some of which he hid for future tertons to find), Padmasambhava established the Nyingma school from which all schools of Tibetan Buddhism are derived. | | | It was Padmasambhava (more commonly known in the region as Guru Rinpoche) who merged tantric Buddhism with the local Bön religion to form what we now recognize as Tibetan Buddhism. | | | a practice wherein lost or hidden ancient scriptures are recovered by spiritual masters known as tertons |

| | Buddhist Alchemists |
| | A few of the more famous Buddhist alchemists known in Tibet were the Indian master Guru Padmasambhava and his lineage of saints called the tertons, or "treasure revealers." Of special mention are the tertons Thangtong Gyalpo and Nyala Pema Dudul. | | | Drubje Pema Dudul was a master from Nyarong, Southeastern Tibet who lived a modest life as a terton, but died in a spectacular manner shared by many in the Dzogchen tradition: he manifested what is called "Jalu," the "Rainbow Body" at the time of his death. | | | These treasure teachings and the tertons who reveal them have appeared since the eleventh century up to the present day. |

| | It also depends on whether the Tertons could meet their consorts under proper circumstances, whether they were able to follow the instructions left behind by Guru Rinpoche for them, whether the doctrine- holder could practice the teachings as explained in the discovered text, and so on. | | | In particular there are false texts that look like Terma script, and which are by false Tertons [the discoverers of Terma], the rebirths of wrongly aspiring evil ministers of the ancient time who have the support of certain demonic spirits as the protectors of these Termas. | | | In brief, the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the teachings result from whether or not the sacred obligations [vows: Dam Tshig] are properly observed. |

| | Furthermore, the Nyingmapas are the only Tibetan Buddhists openly to acknowledge as Buddhist those teachings of non-Indian origin that were spread during the first introduction of Buddhism into Tibet during the reign of King Songtsen Gampo and later in the eighth century by the charismatic master Padmasambhava and his associates. | | | Both worship Kuntuzangpo as the supreme primordial AdiBuddha, while the other three schools of Tibetan Buddhism worship Vajradhara as AdiBuddha; and both have a terma tradition of concealed spiritual treasures rediscovered by tertons (personages prophesied to reveal the terma in propitious times). | | | As noted, both uphold and propagate in an official way the transmission of the Dzogchen teachings, which are found only sporadically in gifted individual practitioners of the other Tibetan traditions that do not have specific lineages of Dzogchen masters. |

| | This insight must then be practised by the terton until it is clear - to reveal the teaching before it is clear can destroy it. | | | At the time when he recieves the teaching, the terton gains the realisation embodied in the teaching. | | | The original insight that he obtained at the time of implantation is aroused. |
