The '''Rinchen Terdzö''' ([[Wyl.]] ''rin chen gter mdzod''), the '''''Treasury of Precious Termas''''', is one of [[The Five Great Treasures]] of [[Jamgön Kongtrul]] the Great. It is a compilation drawn from all the [[terma]]s that had been discovered up to his time, including [[Chokgyur Lingpa]]'s treasures. Fearing that these teachings would be lost, he started the work in 1855 with the blessing of [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]] and it was completed in 1889. Simply to receive the [[oral transmission]] and [[empowerment]]s of the Rinchen Terdzö takes from four to six months.
