  • Aspiration Prayers – the 100.000-fold wealth of Padma, a wish-fulfilling Jewel[15]

Purpose

According to Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, the purpose of the Tsokye Tuktik is as followed[16]:

Since Dudjom Rinpoche holds Guru Rinpoche in the greatest esteem, he states that his purpose in writing this sadhana [of the Tsokye Tuktik] is to help us attain the sale level as Guru Rinpoche. He further states that his composition will present the methods or practices (tsul) we should follow in order to approach (nyen) and accomplish (drup) Guru Rinpoche.

Revelation of the Terma

The practice was revealed by Dudjom Rinpoche in 1929, while he was still in Tibet. According to him, “the Tsokyi Tuktik is the father cycle connected to the Khandro Tuktik mother cycle”[17].

About the Tsokye Tuktik, Dudjom Rinpoche said “For the fortunately connected students, I released the secret seal of the casket spontaneously arisen from the space of awareness”.

Notes

  1. The three other cycles are the Pudri Rekpung cycle, the Khandro Tuktik cycle and the Dorje Drolö cycle.
  2. In the actual source texts of the Tsokye Tuktik, the innermost secret form of the lama is Lama Drakpo Tapur, and not Dorje Drolö. But it seems that, as shown on many Tsokye Tuktik thangkas, oral lineage instructions have recommended students to focus on Dorje Drolö practice as the innermost secret form of the lama, considering the importance of the Dorje Drolö cycle in the Dudjom Tersar lineage.
