Nupchen Sangyé Yeshé

Düpa Do (Wyl. ‘dus pa mdo), Do Gongpa Düpa (Wyl. mdo dgongs pa ‘dus pa), The Sutra which Gathers All Intentions, aka Tsokchen Düpa — the principal text of the Anuyoga, which is part of the kama tradition. It consists of 75 chapters and was translated from the language of Gilgit by Chetsun Kyé, a native of Gilgit, in the late 8th or early 9th century. The Anuyoga tantras were brought to Tibet by Nupchen Sangye Yeshe.

In the sadhana of Tendrel Nyesel, we invoke the mandala of deities from Tsokchen Düpa and recite their mantras.
