Jamyang Khyentse in heruka form according to the practice of Nyingtik Saldrön from Shechen Archives

Nyingtik Saldrön (Wyl. snying thig gsal sgron) 'The Lamp that Illuminates the Heart Essence' — a guru yoga practice composed by Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö at the request of Yudrön, a princess of Derge, and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Of all the guru yoga practices that he composed, this is considered the most special. Jamyang Khyentse also wrote a commentary to the practice, called the Yeshe Saldrön.

Notes

  1. There are different versions of this line. Some editions have dang, but according to the Gangtok edition of Jamyang Khyentse's collected works, the line ends in shyap (Wyl. zhabs). Alak Zenkar Rinpoche has confirmed that this is the correct version.
