Jatsön Nyingpo

Jatsön Nyingpo (Tib. འཇའ་ཚོན་སྙིང་པོ་, Wyl. 'ja' tshon snying po) (1585-1656) was a Nyingma master and tertön. His main terma cycle is the Könchok Chidü.

Birth, Family, Recognition

Jatsön Nyingpo was born in Kongpo. His root incarnation was Nyang Tingdzin Zangpo.

Activity

Jatsön Nyingpo's termas are collected in six volumes—the Jatsön Pö Druk. The Könchok Chidü constitutes the first of those volumes.

Revealing cycles of termas

Jatsön Nyingpo revealed termas in several different places, including:

  • Kongpo Puchu Tadul Sergyi Lhakhang

In the Kongpo Puchu Tadul Sergyi Lhakhang[1], he brought to light texts associated with the hidden-land of Pemakö[2].

  • Drubpuk Cave

In the Drubpuk Cave (Wyl. sgrub-phug), the 'Realization Cave', in Kongtrang (Wyl. Kong-'phrang), Jatsön Nyingpo uncovered the cycle Dorjé Trolö Tsalgyi Drubkor (Wyl. rdo rje gro lod rtsal gyi sgrub 'khor), together with a route description and prophecies for Pemakö[3].

Revealing the existence of Pemakö

In the middle of the 17th century, Jatsön Nyingpo revealed as a terma one of the first—or the very first—Néyik, or guidebook, to the hidden-land of Pemakö[4][5]. By doing so, he contributed greatly to the magnetism of Pemakö on Tibetans. Living during the turbulent reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama, Jatsön Nyingpo believed and prophesied that going to Pemakö was the ultimate pilgrimage to undertake in this final dark age (Kaliyuga)[6]. According to Jatsön Nyingpo[7]:

Those who enter this realm obtain the vajra body and dissolve into rainbow light upon death. Merely taking seven steps toward Pemakö guarantees rebirth in this pure realm after death. (Lam yig: 13; 4-6).

Instructing Rigdzin Düddul Dorje to open the way to Pemakö

When the Qosot Mongols overran Central Tibet in the middle of the 17th century, Jatsön Nyingpo appointed his disciple Rigdzin Düddul Dorje to go to Pemakö and convert the aboriginal tribes of the Yarlung Tsangpo (aka Brahmaputra) gorges to the Buddha’s teachings and open the way to the hidden land[8].
